Participant reports from Phrontisterion, which I discussed in a previous post, are up.

I'm cheered by this comment from Rod Humble (who runs Linden Lab and also makes crazy art games, among other exploits):

"It became clear to me (I don’t think I was in the majority, but its my report so hey) that text based interactive stories are no barrier to success, commercial or artistic. The market for text based products is growing. Indeed if you buy into the notion that ebooks are changing the way we read for all future generations then text based interactive storytelling is not just hopeful, it could be a genuine new mass market art form."
