[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 1360570, member: 143"] Any way you slice it, clearly there's a lot of great content here. I hope people will continue to post their compilations; I have converted several from .doc to .lit (Microsoft Reader) format for my Pocket PC, which along with the free fantasy titles that Baen Books has been releasing on its Web site, means that I am never without something good to read, wherever I go. Several of the story hours here have been more entertaining than some of the hardcover fantasy I've bought in the last few years. I think that's great; as a writer who's had virtually no success breaking into the insanely competitive world of fiction publishing, I think that places like ENWorld offer a great opportunity to share your work with a like-minded audience. To me an ENWorld story hour is to a "standard" piece of fiction what live, improv humor is to a scripted sitcom. The latter has more polish, but you're more likely to get great, unexpected moments in the former. Perhaps it's because most story hours are collaborative, with a DM and players who each bring something different to the story. After all, Wulf wouldn't have been Wulf without the halfling and his player, and (contact's) ToEE wouldn't have been such a guilty pleasure if there hadn't been real players behind all those characters that got slaughtered. ;) /end hijack, continue with your regularly scheduled boasting :D [/QUOTE]
