Here's a little something I've made fooling around with the Casio MT65 ( a family heirloom) and the grandaddy Electribe (my main box)

Hello humans,

I've been working on a story. It's been a few years since I've started writing. I've been writing on paper using a fountain pen (the fun part) and typing the passages in Ink (the boring part). 78K words deep, the story started to feel mature. I'm hoping to wrap things up and publish the story soon but, I'm not sure about the best way of sharing an IF project.

I take pleasure in writing and I'm not trying to make money with what I write. I don't like/use social media and I'm not interested in pushing my stuff with an aggressive campaign. The finished work will be exported from Ink, in HTML and as an extra, I'll probably add an original soundtrack album to the package.

What I'm writing is essentially a story of self-discovery. It reads like an old school science-fiction story but it's ultimately philosophical in nature. It's both straightforward and strange.

My first thought was to publish in itch.io and the second was to make a simple, old-school HTML page for the project. The soundtrack will probably be hosted in Bandcamp as I have an active account there. Then I learned about the ifcomp contest. I don't know how I feel about entering a contest but the platform seems nice.

I don't have much experience in IF as a reader/player. I always wanted to write something like the choose-your-own-adventure books that I loved in my childhood and one day I started writing.

I've asked this question in another sub and people were kind enough to share their thoughts. What I'm still trying to figure out is the common storytelling style that people enjoy (if such thing exists) in specific platforms. I wouldn't want to keep my stuff in a platform that's not a good fit. I'm also curious about your general experiences in sharing/publishing interactive stories.

Thank you for taking time to read and share your thoughts and experiences. I really appreciate it.

Take care.

Merhabalar,

Uzun süredir çocukken okuduğum "kendi hikayeni kendin seç" kitaplarındaki gibi, okuyucunun ana karakterin kaderini belirleyebildiği bir hikaye yazmak istiyordum. Birkaç sene önce, üzerinde çok da düşünmeden bu tip bir hikaye yazmaya koyuldum. Yaklaşık 80000 kelime sonra, projenin paylaşılmaya hazır hale geldiğini hissediyorum. Hikaye, kişisel keşif ve gerçeklik arayışı üzerine. Anlatım tarzı ise, eski usül bilimkurgu romanlarını çağrıştıran ve zaman zaman felsefi yönü ağır basabilen bir yapıda. Daha fazla insana ulaşabileceğimi düşündüğüm ve kendimi bu şekilde daha rahat ifade edebildiğim için hikayeyi İngilizce yazdım. Tahmin edebileceğiniz gibi, hikaye basılmayacak, çevrimişi şekilde paylaşılacak. Ortaya çıkan ürün çevrimiçi ya da çevrimdışı okunabilecek ve paylaşılabilecek. Ek olarak hikayeye eşlik edebileceğini düşündüğüm ufak bir enstrümental albüm üzerinde çalışıyorum.

IsikHizi'ni tesadüfen keşfettim ve burada paylaşılan fikirler oldukça hoşuma gitti. Yazdığım projenin tamamlanmasina az bir süre kaldı. Bitirdiğimde buradaki insanların ilgisini çeker mi, ilgilenen olur mu diye bir sormak istedim.

Şimdiden zaman ayırıp okuduğunuz için teşekkür eder, keyifli günler dilerim.

Hello humans,

I've been working on a story. It's been a few years since I've started writing. I've been writing on paper using a fountain pen (the fun part) and typing the passages in Ink (the boring part). 78K words deep, the story started to feel mature. I'm hoping to wrap things up and publish the story before this fall but, I'm not sure about the best way of sharing an IF project.

I take pleasure in writing and making money is not a priority. I don't like social media and I'm not interested in pushing my stuff with an aggressive campaign. The finished work will be exported from Ink, in HTML and I'll probably add an original soundtrack album to the package.

What I'm writing is a story of self-discovery and temporal exploration. It reads like a science-fiction story but it's ultimately a philosophical essay.

My first thought was to publish in itch.io and the second was to make a simple, old-school HTML page for the project. The soundtrack will probably be hosted in Bandcamp as I have an active account there. Then I learned about the ifcomp contest. I don't know how I feel about entering a contest but the platform seems nice.

I realize people post inane computer-generated shit in this sub but I'm sure there are also many IF lovers who can share their experiences.

Thank you for taking time to read and share your thoughts. I really appreciate it.

Take care.

Here's something that I discovered in the depths of my projects folder. It was entirely made with a groovebox (Korg EM1) and an eight track recorder (Zoom R8). This is one of the tunes that I've made as a background track for CJ Cherryh's Foreigner book series.

I'm curious about your thoughts...
