I think it would be a really bad idea to pay story hour authors for their work, and this has nothing to do with the talent of the writer. There are so many problems that could arise from such a venture, least of which is the tardiness of updates. Most story hours feature a lot of proprietary game info that could lead to ugly legal issues with WoTC. In addition, I personally would not feel right about charging someone to read my story hour, mainly due to the fact that it isn't a finished product. It hasn't had the proper editing and other touches a finished "market-ready" product should have. But I will say this, the story hour forum is a great vehicle for authors to showcase their work, and possibly gain the attention of the many d20 publishers that cruise this website. So it is quite possible that you may see (or already have seen in the case of Piratecat) your favorite storyhour author in print on a D20 product, and personally, the chance to gain that kind of attention is all the compensation I need for writing my storyhour.Dirge</blockquote>
