glamdring Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 To be fair, there's nothing in the title "Story of the week" that says it is necessarily a good story To me I just consider story of the week to basically be stickying a story which has been actively added to by the author over the week in question!

When it was introduced, a handful of writers were the only ones getting read regularly, and new writers found it tough to get noticed, so that was basically the idea. It doesnt mean its the best story on the board, or that anything not nominated is the worst (because certain writers are not eligible for sotw as they are too popular anyway.) it just means people feel that particular writer deserves a little bit of recognition.

BobBev Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 OK - hope that the following doesn't count as drivel and that a discussion results. I would like to get the opinions of anyone who has been reading my ESW story. What was once a labour of love is now a chore and I am finding it increasingly onerous to produce each edition. In light of this I am considering various options. 1. Can it completely. 2. Reduce the number of leagues covered. 3. Drop the Game of the Week feature. 4. Publish every two weeks. Any thought on what would be best? Any other suggestions to make? Please note, I'm not looking for praise but for constructive feedback to help me decide the future of this story. I'd quite like to at least see the season out but only if I can maintain a level of quality and provide a decent read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacemaker7 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 IMO Bob, there's only one question. Are you still enjoying it? If you're starting to find it burdonsome (sic) then it's time to think about ending it. Don't let people pressure you into keeping it going for the sake of it, because at the end of the day, that's simply no use. What you've attempted is mammoth, and like all thin gs like that, it's a very tough project to keep going if you lose the glow. (My Weakest Link attempt had the sama affect on me.) I suspect you might feel you'll be letting down the people who are enjoying reading it, but all good things must come to and end anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
