Interactive Fiction in the 2025 Tagset

[moontyger]

This is a roundup of IF in the tagset, with links and nominated characters. There aren't many, but they're spread over a few categories, so can be hard to find. There are a few things I weren't sure if they counted or not, so this is just the ones I was certain of. Let me know if I've missed something and I'll add it.

Thank you! Added.

I suspect AO3 put it in books because the fandom name is formatted like a book(and also why I missed it).
