Hi! This is just a suggestion, so please don't feel the need to publish my ask.
Would it be possible to add the Genre List Masterpost (link: https://www.tumblr.com/interact-if/818515008415793152/and-thats-a-wrap-a-huge-thank-you-to-the?source=share) to the "Important Links" section of your pinned post under its actual title?
At the moment, it's listed as "May 2026" under "Our Events" which isn't very intuitive, and new readers are unlikely to find it that way.
I also noticed a few issues with some of the entries in the lists.
Horror/Thriller Interactive Fiction list:
Dead Weight (apocalyptic/supernatural) by @deadweight-if - The current link is incorrect and leads to a different game on Steam rather than the actual IF. The correct link is: https://whisper-game.itch.io/dead-weight
Modern/Slice-of-Life Interactive Fiction list:
Before We Are Ghosts by @anjiefiction - There is no link provided, and The blog was last updated in 2023. It doesn't seem appropriate to classify this project as ongoing.
Historical Fiction Interactive Fiction list:
The Brightest Stars by @brighteststars-if - This should probably listed as hiatus/potentially inactive, as the author announced a hiatus (link: https://www.tumblr.com/brighteststars-if/818168321523564544/official-haitus?source=share).
Action/Adventure Interactive Fiction list:
After Dark (also listed under Sci-Fi) by Daleko - The author's blog is not linked correctly, should be @dalekowrites
Mafiafell by Darkpetal16 - The author's blog is not linked correctly, should be @darkpetal16
Vendetta by @vendetta-if - Based on a Reddit discussion, this should probably be moved to hiatus/potentially inactive (https://www.reddit.com/r/hostedgames/comments/1n1pem9/comment/nb1738n/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).
Before Dusk Sets In by @celestialdusks - The blog was last updated in 2023, and the link leads to a dashingdon demo. It doesn't seem appropriate to classify this project as ongoing.
Sci-Fi Interactive Fiction list:
Emberwood by @emberwood-if - The blog was last updated in 2023. It doesn't seem appropriate to classify this project as ongoing.
The Retrospection of Tomorrow by Cherish Fan - This is a visual novel, not a text-based IF.
Fantasy Interactive Fiction list:
Sanguine Sky (dark fantasy) by @sanguinesky-if - The genre should be "modern dark fantasy"
Thicker Than (modern supernatural) by @barbwritesstuff - This should probably listed as hiatus/potentially inactive, as the author announced a hiatus (link: https://www.tumblr.com/barbwritesstuff/802060279669276672/thicker-than-hiatus?source=share).
Also, I suggest to add to this list Wold Bride (link: https://ylvanaar.itch.io/wolf-bride) by @wolfbride-romantasy-if
Hope this will be helpful and thank you for the work you're doing.
Hello! Thank you so much for your politeness and such a detailed ask.
Being a small team, sometimes things fall through the cracks and mistakes happen. Our team appreciates the effort our community puts in to fix them!
I have updated the title of the master post in our pinned post. The reason why we have it linked under Our Events is because that's what it is. It's the first in a series of events the new mod team has hosted and we wanted a corner of our pinned post just for the events. That's why it doesn't make sense to us to put it in important links as we wanna keep that section as brief as possible.
I've made all the corrections for the IF links and mentioned hiatuses where needed for full transparency.
That said, the demo link for Before We Are Ghosts leads to a dashingdon demo, which is why it hasn't been linked in the original post. As for Retrospection of Tomorrow, we also include VNs in our directory. As long as it's a CYOA game where players' can change the course of the story, it counts.
We will not be adding Wolf Bride to this specific list because this rec list was only made with the event in mind (thus including only the submissions given to us for this event)! We will be making different rec lists for all these genres (you can kind of call them the Main rec lists) which will include a lot more IFs than just the ones in the event rec lists. We will make sure to add Wolf Bride there!
Once again, thank you for your ask!
