I've made a couple reasonably complex IF fics on Twine - these stories are closer to games as they let you pick up and use items and include health stats. I feel like I am just sitting here with this knowledge and instead would love to teach the basics to anyone interested!
I was thinking of doing a casual 1-2 hour zoom tutorial where I could walk everyone through creating a basic 5 minute IF story on Twine including how to use the Twine interface, allow the reader to make choices, change colors, remove the back button, and other basics. Then, if people are interested, I could show some of the extra mechanics that are more gamelike, including adding an inventory system, choosing dialogue options, and points counters.
Anyway, let me know if this is too weird an idea or if this would be useful to anyone!
