Stephen Granade was the author/editor of the original (now defunct) About.com node on Interactive Fiction. After About.com dropped the node, Stephen started Brass Lantern to take its place. Now he and his wife have designed a poster detailing a timeline of the history of Interactive Fiction. The poster is not available online, but can be purchased for $27, $36, or $41. The contents of the timeline are interesting, notable, and worthy of record, but I'm not sure I'd want to pay $27+$5 shipping for a poster of it.

The IF community is an ambitious group. Some still believe text adventures are commercially viable. While I'm sure it's a nice poster and all, I think the number of people interested in having it as a poster on their wall is pretty low. Perhaps the self-publication of the Inform Designer's Manual was inspirational, but not only was the manual a practical reference for this rather obscure hobby, it only cost $8 (+$5 shipping). The poster would make a great prize for the competition, if Stephen could afford to donate a couple.
