ERIN
NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED - CALL FOR “PEOPLE’S CHOICE”
VOTES
By The2004Erins
The Adult Interactive Fiction Awards (AIFAs or Erins) are an
opportunity for the AIF community to express their appreciation to
authors for their efforts in creating the games we love. Now in
its third installment, the AIFAs are bigger and better than ever, with
over fifty games eligible for Erin
consideration.
This year, the Erin winners will be
determined by a ‘people’s choice’ vote. Everyone who has ever
played or written an AIF game (if you’re reading this, then I’m talking
about you!) is invited and encouraged to vote for their favorite games,
characters and steamy sex scenes of the year. Your votes will determine
who will be presented Erins at an awards
ceremony to be held in a public Internet chat room at the end of March,
2005. Details of the awards ceremony will be announced soon on
the Erins web site and on the two main AIF
message boards.
