It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!

The moon-th has waned and now is less than two weeks long, somehow. (We suspect witchcraft was involved. Beware of chronurgists!)
At any rate, you can still sneak in some more ratings by October 15! Or add Halloween candy to the prize pool at ifcomp.org

Hey, hey, it's the weekend! If you've got a little time to chill with some stories and games, swing on over to ifcomp.org - voting closes Oct 15, and our authors would really love your feedback!
If you've got a little time, we've got a *lot* of stories and games. If you play (and rate) just five of them before Oct 15, then you can be a judge. We'd love more judges! Check it out at ifcomp.org

We did it! The 2025 Colossal Fund hit $8K!
85 entries means more authors will share the prize pool. Let's stretch to $10K to boost the prizes a bit.
If you are in a position to donate and haven't, consider heading to ifcomp.org to hit the big blue donation button.
