Are you good at programming in TADS, Inform or some other keen i-f parser? 

Do you want to help some poor Infocom addict satisfy his life-long dream 
of writing a text adventure?

Are you, in short, willing to undertake a programming project that will in
all likelihood, be the most astounding thing ever done?  Curses?  Pshaw! 
Too small!  Christminster?  Those puzzles were too easy!  Frustration? 
Mission?  Those descriptions weren't detailed enough!  Save Princeton? 
Not enough in-jokes!  Toonesia?  Not nearly goofy enough for _my_ taste! 

The GUE's most populous denizens want _you_!  Help program "Grue Moon: 
The Legend of Ikroz", and gain the accolades of your peers!  The 
adoration of millions of fans!  And half the shareware fees!

Seriously, my friend who I was previously working with has said he 
doesn't have time to learn a new language, even one as allegedly simple 
as TADS (I admit, I haven't looked at it.)  So here's your chance to help 
out with the first ever Grue Adventure: I have a fair-to-middling amount 
of pure text written for the game, and I need someone to either put it in 
a framework or to tell me to buck up, get some backbone, find some free 
time and learn a system.


Let me know what you think.  This is my first-ever attempt at writing 
anything, and I need some expert advice.  Should I team up with someone 
or just knuckle under and learn it myself?
