Yeah, I wish there was a way to only get an email when the thread originator updates. Otherwise you just get too many notices from the fanboy-flush threads like Sep and PCs (as a fanboy of those threads myself, I guess I can't be too bitter).

Campaign Log

I update frequently when we are playing. My SH serves as a campaign log. I have a few folks who like to keep track of the game group and I try to make it entertaining. That's why my SH has more of a battle report feel and less of an episodic novel.

I have a big pile of the old Dungeon Master Logs and I view this as an extension of that concept.

I like including pictures because it inspires me to paint stuff for the campaign and make new terrain pieces.

As a reader of SHs I find frequent updates daunting, especially if they are long. Sep takes too long, only because it is so darn good.
 

I have a tendency to write in bursts. I'll do three updates or so at once, then lie fallow for a week. Ive thought about spacing those out more; I probably should. :)

Note: I can't find a way to do large batches on this site. I update almost daily. For me to put my updates here, I would need to be able to tell the calendar "Tu-W-Th every week for the rest of the year" without actually clicking on every single day and inputting it for every single time I'm likely to do an update. It works well for one-time or few-times events, but I'm not sure a regularly updated story hour works very well with the interface.

I have been considering putting that into the calendar. This is a lot of work and ony worth it if it's really going to get used.

I plan weekly updates and putting them all in really doesn't bother me, because I can put a different teaser into each update.

I will look into this and see exactly how much work it will be though.
 

I am something like 17 sessions behind.

Which means I am writing now about stuff that happened in sessions that took place in August.

I try to update twice (sometimes 3 times) a month. . . but I don't always get to.
 

Ack. I never did do well on reading the instructions all the way through before taking the test.

Sadly I do not update daily, though I do try to do it weekly. I'd like to do it more often, but I blame Sepulchrave and Piratecat as I do check the story hours daily. Ah well. It gives me plenty of writing to look forward to.
 

I check almost daily, but that's what the handy email update feature is for. At the moment, I'm only reading Piratecat's SH and Joshua Dyal's Detroit Cthulhu SH -- if I read more SHs, I'd probably check daily as a matter of course.
 

I update as often as I can, which is nowhere near as often as I'd like :)

I check a thread whenever I get a notification it's been updated.
