I’m of the opinion that a _finished_ collection would be really nice.

Personally, I love supporting other writers with their WIPs, but sometimes you just want to experience a full story without thinking about waiting another year+ for the project to be completed.

It’s pretty hard to figure out where/how to find finished IFs, even ifdb is pretty hard to use from what I tried and unintuitive.

Yes, this. I avoid dashingdon because it’s like an elephant graveyard. If I’m getting recommendations, I’d really love a list that is at least exclusively finished games.

Played this game a while ago. Even though the project is currently on hiatus, I enjoyed it a great deal:

> **[Exiled from Court by beeanca](https://beeanca.itch.io/exiled-from-court)**
>
> You were exiled from Court. Now, you need to find your way back.

It already made the list but I thought it was entertaining enough to single it out again. I liked the writing style, the MC characterization, and several of the potential ROs.

This tumblr in particular shares recommendations from Twine and Choice of Games (and even the odd VN for those inclined to such), and their asks are open to the public if you’re searching for something in particular. I hope it helps somebody out. I’ve found some incredible gems through their blog.
