Schip, I seriously hope you are able to keep your story going. You're one of the writers I regularly read, even if I don't post.
I think Metro is right, there are just so many stories and only so much time. Reading the stories does cut into play time, and with all the challenges he's come up with, it's hard to juggle playing, doing challenges, writing your own stories, and reading others. I think samoht's idea is a good one but a heck of a lot more work for Carl or whoever would do the work to split things up. I personally have been way behind on writing my own story, and just finally decided today was the day I caught up on the original story teller's stories. The new ones just have to wait till I read up and comment on all the old timer's writes. You see names that were there from the start and that's the first ones I read, then, if there is still time and I haven't crashed, I'll pick another that sounds interesting. Divvying it up into something like Legacies, Dynasties, Vampire Tales, New Writes as a subtitle under the big three, would help people out.
New Writes stories would have to get moved eventually since they wouldn't remain new, (which means still more work for our moderators), but lots of times folks will start a story and then just stop or it dies. I think the ones that die should be removed to help keep the forum tidy and to ease our searches for what we want to read. I personally have taken to reading the last posts to see if the story is still alive before I take time to read the whole thing.
Sorry, I sort of took over your story post. Keep it up, Schip because we ARE loving it. My only negative on it is I have a hard time with the names, although Ping's name and character can't be beat~~!
