Thank you! I think it's a great idea to have an umbrella tag. (I don't think most people requesting this style of IF care about the particulars of the codebase, they just want a Twine-style game. I nominated Ink because I prefer to work in it and wouldn't want to give an Ink fic to someone who had explicitly requested Twine, but for most end users the differences are irrelevant.) Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is a term that includes both Ink and Twine, excludes AO3-based interactive fiction, and won't confuse a lay person. Ink- and Twine-style games are often called "choice-based IF" (to distinguish them from parser IF) or "hypertext IF" but those don't clearly exclude AO3-based IF; technically, what they have in common is JavaScript, but the casual user might not even know that. Just "Ink and Twine" might be the best bet.

(Also, thanks for approving the voxel art nom!)
