So...would you start a Story Hour, given these circumstances?

[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 1653050, member: 1891"] I miss having a Story Hour, and I'd like to start one up again. As my campaign's been running for nearly a year now, I've got plenty of material already written. I run a website for my campaign, and I post a monthly campaign journal there (one journal per session) -- the Story Hour would be the same material, only broken down into smaller, more frequent posts. In late 2003, I [i]did[/i] start a Story Hour for this campaign. It did OK, but not so well, and I think part of that was due to the massive posts and infrequency of updates: around 6,000-10,000 words, once per month. It never stayed on the first couple pages of the forum, and no one really saw it. I wanted to start posting smaller chunks, more often, but didn't see the point: if people could just go to the website and real the whole thing in one go, why read it here over time? I'm already posting it on the web because I enjoy writing the journals -- if I started posting it here, it would be to join the community of SH authors and readers. Feedback, questions, criticism and proof that people actually [i]read[/i] the darned thing would be what I was hoping for. ;) Given all that...would you start this Story Hour? (Thanks in advance, and thanks for reading this!) [/QUOTE]
