I'm not voting on this one neither, but I would like to point out that Bandeeto wrote most of the thread we co-write and deserves the credit. I just started the thread to goad him into getting started.
And I kibbitz from time to time.
And add the occasional story sadly sprinkled with teenspeak because that's the way my current narrator talks. Apologies if I turned anyone off. Please do post that kind of thing on the thread if it's getting annoying--if nobody tells me that it's unpleasant to read, then how am I to know?
I've got plenty of other voices.
Bandeeto got a lot of feedback on his new interior monologue style and started giving two versions of each sotry--the interior and the exterior. So you know, we really will respond to feedback about what works and what doesn't.
We have a lot of fun writing these, but half the fun is knowing there's an audience out there willing to read the stuff.
What I look for in a storyhour is humor. There's no question. I love good characters and I love dramatic plot, but what keeps me coming back to a storyhour is good bellylaughs.
Wulf's voice always makes me laugh. Drunk Southern Girls scares me and makes me laugh at the same time, and has great cinematography, too.
Thigns that turn me off a storyhour are "same old same old."
If I feel like I've heard the story a million times before, I don't keep reading. This isn't to say I wouldn't read several different accounts of the same module--if they were each told in a different style, or had characters so compelling that I wanted to see how each set of adventurers reacted to the same old same old situation, I'd read 'em. Understanding who the characters are and how they feel about what's happening to them, or what they do that's surprising and unusual to handle the situations, keeps me reading.
