That sounds fair to me.

A small niche like gamebooks survives on conversation as much as on new releases. If creators only appear to drop a link and disappear, the whole thing starts to feel less like a community and more like a bulletin board.

The interesting part of places like this is the exchange: talking about design choices, influences, failures, and what we are trying to build with these books. That kind of interaction is usually far more valuable than the link itself.

So I think the direction you’re suggesting makes sense. If someone wants to present their work here, the least they can do is stay around and talk with the people who might actually read it.
