The 1 post a day rule may be a bit stifling and I am all for creative activity but what I strongly stand for is an opportunity for each and every member of The Story Corner to have their work shared with everyone else. Now there are a few difficulties in decreasing the blog postings to say a 12 hour window.
Some days we have a 5 post day. Five separate members posting their work in a single day. Some may have a few pieces which they could post in this time. Do we open the blogs for chapters of stories to two a day and not poems?
Reason I ask this is because I know for a fact that some members can seemingly chuck out quality poems faster than I can catch and kill a deer on the plains. I’ve seen them do it on a poem event.
If we reduce the posting times to even just 2 a day then we can open ourselves to more misery than good. I myself would be often able to add at least 1 to 2 chapters a day if I made my chapters no greater than 1000 words.
We also need to look at quality. If I blankly ignore quality in my own work then I can at this moment post 200 chapters. I’m not joking here either, I’m editing through 200 chapters of work.
Chapters don’t have to be long or short, but maybe chapter length could be increased by simply joining the two chapters together as one? Then it won’t be a case of spacing out a chapter so it’s longer.
Another point which fortifies my position is there isn’t a single post which goes up that I do not read. It’s not often I do this but I’ll speak as a host now.
I am a Host of The Story Corner. I have a duty to read every post that is put up. Why? Control of content firstly. I need to know that any material posted is suitable for the blog. There was a member who posted something and once I read it I asked that they down tone it due to its content. I myself have had content down toned so it is not as offensive. If we increase the content then posts will be missed and content slipped through.
I would hate for the whole site to be closed down because explicit material posted slipped through and voided Ning’s terms.
Secondly I read everyone’s posts because I like reading them. Having too many of one persons work will be detrimental to the member whose work has been knocked off.
I feel more members will benefit from the 24 hour than those who would benefit form say a 12 hour window.
