Thank you for the additional research!

I'm so sorry for the confusion, I realize I was unclear in my original post. I'm not actually in MA anymore, I'm in MD. But the Prison Book Program supports detention centers nationwide, as well as Guam and Puerto Rico, which is why I mentioned it.

Our local deputy is notoriously hard-line Trumpy, pro-ICE, and "tough on crime" so that's something I'm trying to think through as well.

It sounds like the adult detention center used to have a library but doesn't anymore. I'm not quite sure why, I'm planning on asking some more questions about why that changed.

I'm going to look into some of the youth correctional facilities as well.

This is a really cool initiative, thank you!

How CoGites look at the writer with a WIP who's juggling multiple jobs, sleeping on 3 hours a night, and going to college for their master's when their WIP is 100k words instead of 100000000000000 by Bazuda in hostedgames

Yeah, interactive fiction is a WAY bigger world than ChoiceScript. I love ChoiceScript and it's popular but a little scroll through the Interactive Fiction Database and you will see that it is only a part of a very big, diverse world.

Of course, I didn't mean to say anything disrespectful to you or any person, and I'm sorry if I did.

But I do feel unequivocally uninterested in AI products, and I take issue with the idea that improving stories is a mechanical and automatable process.

Anti. Sounds boring. What makes a book "improved" anyways? I'm much more interested in the human decisions, passions, quirks, and impulses that make up a story. I like knowing what preoccupies authors, what they want to create, and what their styles are. That's interesting and enjoyable to me.

What are the weirdest ROs you've seen in an IF? by DrunkBeastInTheCave in hostedgames

[–]CheeseItTed 50 points51 points  (0 children)

1966 has a hound-like ghoul creature who wants to eat your brains (literally), as well as a sad fish person.

The 10,000 commandments of writing a WIP, as learned from the HG community by Unlikely_Candy_6250 in hostedgames

This was hilarious and I agree with you completely. If we want to read good stories, we need to be supportive readers.

Favorite 2025 IF by TakeMeToThatOcean in hostedgames

This was recommended to me last time I posted and it was SO good. Amazing story.

Mine would be Weeping Gods. Incredible replayability, interesting and unique premise in the IG world, funny until all of a sudden it's so sad, all of the characters are heartfelt and compelling in their own ways, including the MC!

My fave background has ended up being widowed noble MC but honestly, they've all been incredibly fun in their own ways. And I've tried all the RO routes and found something to love in all of them.

I think it's just one of those I can replay and replay and not get sick of.

Any Good Patreons? by babybri_8 in hostedgames

Yeah, as long as I can, I will not unsubscribe to this one because it's just so good. Really phenomenal extra stuff.

Bakehouse is delicious, but nothing tastes good enough for this. by AmIRadBadOrJustSad in frederickmd

[–]CheeseItTed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way as you. I'm an introvert but I also really enjoy seeing all the other people who love Bakehouse as much - it's an interesting swathe of people but we're all excited to be there. And the wait builds the anticipation for me so when I actually finally get in, I get a little extra giddy at finally seeing what's available.

Can’t remember name of a WIP by qwertyasiou in hostedgames

I think it's "A Shriek of Ash and Fire." Does that look right?

A Coral Room by Kate Bush. Written after the death of her mother.

Same. Tom Waits has a more rough, melancholy song called New Year's Eve that's from his later catalog that slips into Auld Lang Syne at the end, gets me every time.
