The hard cold fact is that like in any other area of fame and fortune, the odds are that what ever you do, no matter how good it is, will never attract any attention. If it happens to catch on and become popular that's great, but if you're doing it for praise and adulation you are almost certainly going to be disappointed. Shilsen's SH in my sig has been going for something like 5 yrs, has like 32k views and has only ever gotten a handful of comments from a handful of posters.2) Frequent or at the very least regular updates maximize the chances that people will read your SH. A short update of a couple of paragraphs once a week is far more likely to attract an audience than something that gets a novel every 6-9 months.3) Expect to spend a substantial amount of time doing this. A write up for a session can take a minimum of 3-6 hours of work. 4) Tell your story with a point of view, some personality. A dry recitation of round by round events will BORE YOUR AUDIENCE TO TEARS. The Chronicles of Burne in my sig is a good example of this IMHO.</blockquote>
