format/style for Story Hours

[GlassJaw]

I'm going to be starting a new campaign (Grim Tales - woo hoo!) after the holidays and I'm planning on writing a Story Hour for it. I've checked out a few but unfortunately I haven't really followed any from the start.

I've seen some that are written in actual "story" form (with quoted dialogue, etc). But in a previous campaign I was in, we would write session logs that just recapped what happened.

So what I'm wondering is 1) what "style" do people prefer? and 2) what is the
most common style?

(I posted this in here because I wasn't sure about OT posting in the Story Hour page)

You could (and probably should) have posted in the SH forum.

I would bet that most folks prefer the "story" format as opposed to the "game log" format.

For sure, I think the most widely read and lauded story hours are in story form.
