I know how you feel.  My Story Hours have always had low readership, and probably always will.  This is because while mine include traditional D&D crunch and flavor they also include a lot of comic moments, jokes and out-of-character/out-of-game comments.   I write mine primarily for my players, and they enjoy reading about the parts of the game they found the most fun.  But I also have a handful of loyal readers who enjoy them too.   The fact that two different readers referenced two different story hours of mine in the recent Pimping thread attests to that.  So hang in there, more people will find your stories as time goes on.</blockquote>
