<div>Wore the habit, could still do the nun. Then she ran off naked. Wore the habit in battle. Did a restart, never saw or knew the nun, did the weapons check, and still met her after 7 months.

<div>An acronym for "Adult Interactive Fiction" that implies the game deals with adult themes or situations.<br />
<br />
The AIF community is, in many ways, divided from the IF community proper. A relatively high proportion of AIF games are written in [[Adrift]], with [[TADS]] and [[Inform]] also popular options, and several AIF authors are early adopters of [[TADS 3]], possibly due to its sophisticated conversation system. Few AIF games are entered in the [[The Annual IF Competition|IF Competition]], and AIF [[authors]] rarely post to rec.arts.int-fiction; instead the bulk of AIF discussion on Usenet takes place on the alt.games.xtrek newsgroup. The majority of AIF games are not uploaded to the [[archive|IF Archive]], but instead appear in other places such as [http://aif.emsai.net/ The AIF Portal], [http://www.aifcommunity.org/ Matrix Moles AIF Archive], or various Yahoo! groups pages. The majority of AIF is solely pornographic in motive, and contains little interest in terms of [[puzzle]]s or literary elements.<br />
<br />
However, the line is far from clear. Many authors without a centrally-AIF focus have written games which can be considered AIF, such as [[Adam Cadre]]'s [http://wurb.com/if/game/114 I-0] (Jailbait on the Interstate) and [[Robb Sherwin]]'s [http://wurb.com/if/game/367 Chicks Dig Jerks]. [[James Mitchelhill]]'s much-derided [http://www.wurb.com/if/game/1689 Kallisti] is the best-known of the handful of AIF games entered in the IF Competition, and is certainly literary in intent. Likewise there are a number of AIF games that include quality programing, interesting puzzles, and|or good writing. The AIF community is quite active; there is a [http://newsletter.aifcommunity.org/ newsletter] and of course an annual competition called the [[Erins]]. A recent addition to the AIF scene is the new [http://portal.aifcommunity.org/ AIF Community Portal], which includes forums, downloads and game reviews. The previous [http://aif.emsai.net/ AIF Portal], while still available, has not been updated since February, 2004.<br />
<br />
==Content==<br />
<br />
The great majority of AIF has a male protagonist, although there are exceptions. Games routinely cover sexually taboo subjects, but virtually none involve non-heterosexual content (the principal exception being the transgendered BDSM game [http://wurb.com/if/game/1773 Depravity Bites]).<br />
<br />
Although they necessarily have a strong focus on [[NPC]]s, interaction tends to be somewhat limited and few contain [[conversation system]]s; a standard model involves perfunctory seduction performed by simple puzzles, followed by detailed sex involving a great many body-part [[object]]s.<br />
<br />
==Parody==<br />
The genre has attracted several [[parodies]], notably [[Adam Thornton]]'s [http://www.wurb.com/if/game/1656 Stiffy Makane: The Undiscovered Country], a parody of the truly atrocious [http://www.wurb.com/if/game/464 The Incredible Erotic Adventures of Stiffy Makane]; and [http://wurb.com/if/game/493 Blow Job Drifter] by Big Al.<br />
