[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3545721, member: 35788"] I just now used the controls at the bottom of the page to do a search for any posts having the "fiction" tag and posted within the last year. [It is one of the easiest ways for me to find my first story hour, which is now completed and hasn't been updated since 1-10-07. That means it's no doubt relegated to page 3 or 4 by now. But I digress.] Anyway, I was stunned by how many threads with the "fiction" tag don't make it past 10 posts! I realize a few of them were one-post stories - the equivalent of the online short story. But my assumption is that many of them were started with great intentions and then abandoned. So, my question to you is this: What are your criteria that makes you interested in a Story Hour? What criteria do you use? I meant to include this as a poll, but I took too long :( So ... Here are my suggested criteria. Any of them fit you? [B]1.[/B] You know the author ... or at least their work [B]2.[/B] The author employs proper spelling/grammer and knows when to start a new paragraph [B]3.[/B] The number of views is enough to catch your eye (please indicate what number catches your eye) [B]4.[/B] The post count is high enough to indicate that the author is going to finish the story(please indicate what post count tells you this) [B]5.[/B] The author uses (or doesn't use) colored speech [B]6.[/B] You saw the story hour advertised in a thread or in a sig [B]7.[/B] The title was interesting enough to catch your eye [B]8.[/B] The update schedule fits your need for the story (please post how often you like updates) [B]9.[/B] Other criteria not listed here (please post below) [/QUOTE]
