For authors whoe derive their story hour material from game sessions, there is another issue to consider. Do the players in the game, whose characters' actions tell the story, have any stake in the authorship, and therefore the rights, to a story hour?

Personally, I have no idea, and it might only require something as simple as getting the players to sign a release. But when money enters the equation, who knows.
