Inky Path: An Interactive Fiction Lit Mag
Hello, all you Twee/Twine users! I've started an interactive fiction literary magazine, Inky Path.
What is Inky Path?
Inky Path is the first literary magazine that showcases interactive fiction and provides readers with the tools to create their own game. It is about fostering a community of thought and discussion around IF works, seeing pieces for more than their entertainment value, and providing greater exposure of IF to the literary world.
What are you looking for?
We are looking for talented IF writers like yourselves to submit your interactive fiction to the site. There can't be a literary magazine without submissions, so we welcome everyone to bring forth their best work!
It's fine if your work is published elsewhere. You can also submit excerpts or the beginnings of pieces if you want. We welcome pieces of all lengths, types, and flavors. Bring us your best hypertext historical fiction, or parser-based paranormal romance. Or get even more experimental and send in some multimedia medley that defies all convention or classification. Have fun with it.
Check out the submission guidelines for more info on submitting. We are accepting year-round.
NOTE: We are also currently looking for more readers and graphic designers to help staff the magazine. Click here if you would like to know more about becoming part of the staff.
How can I help?
Since this is a relatively new publication, please, spread the word! Even if you are not personally interested in submitting, pass on the info to someone you know would love to. Since this really is the first of its kind, I'm hoping that it will succeed--I think it's something that the IF community has needed for a long time.
If you want to help fund the project, we also accept donations .

Thanks everyone! Please submit your work and share with friends! For questions, comments, etc. you can reply here or email the mag at inkypath[AT]gmail.com.

Comments
We are now accepting guest blog post entries for Inky Path's blog. If you want to write about the state of writing, fiction, or interactive fiction today, or post any reviews for IF pieces, this is the place you can do it! We will also accept re-posts of entries you might have already posted to your own blog.
We are also still accepting submissions for Volume 1. Remember that your piece can be published elsewhere, and we accept most types of interactive fiction.
For guidelines on submitting your interactive fiction piece, or your blog entry, check out the submission guidelines here: http://inkypath.wordpress.com/submissions/
Hope to be hearing from you soon!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Vol. 1.1 is officially released!
You can check it out here.
We are now accepting submissions for Vol 1.2 (scheduled for release May 31st) as well as blog posts on IF (for more on that, see Inky's Submissions page.)
Thanks everyone!
My favorite part was the quiz. ;D Man, there were some good ideas for Twine games in there. I especially liked:
[quote]They say there's gold in this strange new world, but all you've found so far is the salty sting of the sea breeze and hungry, sick sailors. Your best friend is convinced, though, that the coastline will soon be in sight and the plunder will be yours.
He mentions to you one night that he knows exactly where land is. He's been misleading the crew so that you and he could sneak off on a smaller boat and have the first go at the gold.
You decide to
escape with him on a small boat, and trust that he'll know how to get to this new world.
tell the captain in the morning to alter his course to where your friend said the coast would be.
keep the ship on its current course. Your friend has always had too vivid of an imagination for your taste, anyway.
resign yourself to whatever happens, and when you can you take the first ship home.
Man, that's a real role-playing brain teaser right there.
We've got some fantastic pieces this time around ranging from funny to whimsical to surreal, and in the spirit of last volume's quiz, we bring this quarter a small gamebook RPG in which you quest to find the "worldgates," or various pieces, from the volume. We've also got a shiny new domain name, www.inkypathmag.com.
I hope you enjoy, and we hope to see submissions from you soon.
Just wanted to let everyone know that Inky Path has released its third volume, Hidden in Shadows. You can access it here.
We are now accepting pieces for Volume 1.4, and will be accepting submissions through the end of October. We'd love to see your work! Visit our submissions page for more info: http://inkypathmag.com/submissions/
Thanks everyone!
