Then he'll toss it over to me for some proofreading (mostly just a double check) and I'll offer some corrections based on what my memories of the session are or on things I do/don't think the characters would have said/done (or should have done).So my suggestions are these.1) Write it for yourself and your players. Odds are that nobody is going to read it and if you do this for acclaim and praise from other people, you won't be doing it very long. Mind you if you can keep it going long enough, you may develop an audience through sheer persistence. But hey you could always turn out to be the next Sepulchrave, his story hour seemed to hook people from even just the first few posts describing his dilemma as to if a Succubus could be truly repentant and desiring to change.2) Build up a decent amount of material before you start posting.Even if you have the next great story hour, if you only post updates every month or two, you drastically lower the odds that anybody is going to see it often enough to get hooked on it.If you can post, at least once a week (or even every couple of days), for an extended period of time (preferably at least a two months) the odds that people will check out your SH and come back for it, increase dramatically.3) Get someone to proofread your work before you post it. Shilsen is an english teacher and has a grasp of minutia that boggles my mind at times. Yet I still find stuff in posts that needs to be fixed or corrected (and grammar + spelling are NOT my strong points).Professional writers have editors for a reason and you only need to read "The Wheel of Time" books to see what happens when the author's wife starts taking over the editing duties.It's always a good idea to have a second set of eyes and point of view, to read over something.</blockquote>
