Which one Dink?
Anyway, I've gotta say that papa_laz has a point, re: that they're not novels, and on most occaisions one does have to wade through (endure) a few boring paragraphs before one is truly sucked in, but COME ON!!!!!!!!!
It's frickin' Story Hour!!!!
For starters it's written for free by a bunch of people who just want to share their good times with others. You think it takes a long time to read Story Hour? It takes much longer to write one.
On top of that, it is the narration of a d20 campaign, which means that it's more real than a novel - kinda like the thrill of seeing a real-life snuff film as opposed to watching Arnie blow legions of stunt-men and extras away in a fictional movie.
Therefore, a Story Hour story has its own charm over a novel.
Not only that, but it's probably the best DMing advice one could find anywhere short of sitting in on a session.
And I think they really are entertaining - while the Ruined One's story hour IS the best written, there are others, like Nemmerle, who is an atrocious writer, but whose Story Hour is probably the best on here, by virtue of his !33+ DMing skillzzz and his brilliant setting of Aquerra.
P.S. I was joking about the merits of snuff-films. I saw one once, titled "Real Life Executions". I wish I never saw it, I just can't forget. It was awful.
