In case you missed it on the Feedback forum:
Since the forum that was used for the last couple of years for IFComp authors to discuss their works during the voting period seems to be down, rioshin, the admin here at intfiction.org, has kindly set up a forum we can use here.
More details are at: <a class=“postlink-local” href="https://intfiction.org/t/authors-forum-for-2010-ifcomp/1126/1 but the gist is that there will be the capacity for multiple private boards, for other comps aside from just the IFComp. Authors should contact Stephen Granade (the administrator of IFComp) for access to that board.
Thanks, rioshin, for setting this up!
