Editorial: Building a Home for Advanced Interactive Scholarship
It has been quite a journey from the first idea for this journal to the first issue of the Journal of Interactive Narrative, which you are reading now. In 2018, I presented a paper at ICIDS (International Conference for Interactive Digital Storytelling), reflecting on the status of the study of Interactive Digital Narratives as a discipline (Koenitz, 2018). I concluded that much progress had been made since the first doctoral thesis on the topic (Buckles, 1985), yet a journal dedicated to the topic was a key missing element. ARDIN, the Association for Research in Digital Interactive Narratives (https://ardin.online), had just been founded, and I saw one of the future roles of ARDIN in the publication of a journal. More than five years later, I am overjoyed that this vision has been fulfilled.
