Like the other reply to your post said, there is a small but very dedicated, active and most of all supportive interactive fiction community still regularly making very well-made and interesting literary works, as well as producing new development tools, and we would love to have you! There's even a yearly competition for short interactive fiction that you can submit to if you don't want your work to go completely unnoticed.
I really can't stress enough how supportive and engaged and surprisingly active this community is — you wouldn't think it possible for a genre that has been officially dead for so many years, but somehow the community has kept going, producing works of really substantial worth and inventiveness that are genuinely sometimes even better than what was produced when the genre was officially alive. Many of them very long and complex, too. I highly recommend you check out IFDB, check the tags for parser (I find parser IF in the general tradition of Infocom much more interesting and impressive than hypertext, since there's am actual world model and stuff there) and "long-form." You'll see some impressive stuff. You should also check out https://intfiction.org https://intfiction.org, it's a very friendly community forum for discussing interactive fiction reviews, design, and development, and it's shockingly active — I've posted there a few times and always got several replies, and there's always people talking there.
