I've asked the RPers in a couple RPGs I'm in on another board if they minded if I shared the IC threads by posting them on other boards to let others read along. They are alright with the idea. However, before I go ahead posting on H&E, I read up on the posting rules and the 'double posting' one held me up. As such, I'm concerned about posting copies of the IC threads to share with H&Eites as I might have to multi-post as everything won't fit into one post and these are on-going RPGs so I would have to add more posts as the IC threads went on if people wanted to keep reading along.
As such, I am curious as to what I'm supposed to do if I wanted to share these on-going stories with H&E's members. No, these aren't RPGs for H&Eites to take part in, just to read along, so it is on the record and known. Yes, I have sent various PMs out asking, but have yet to get any responses, so I'm posting here to ask.

Well, the bigger issue is that these will basically be non-essential posts for the forum. No members here will be taking part in any of the posts, and this sounds like it would just be eating up a lot of our bandwidth space, that could otherwise be used for threads and posts made here.

Point taken and understood, SB. Truth be told, there is nothing I could say to counter that fact. However, it isn't like I can just provide links to the original threads for people to read as they are on private boards that you have to register to see anything on.
So, as I see it, these are my options:
Get approval to post them on H&E;
Post on a personal board and link H&E members there so they can read along;
Invite H&E members to the original board in question;
Figure out this H&E blog system;
Post them as 'fanfiction'.
I fully understand your logic and reasoning, SB. My only motivation was to share what I thought were good reads with the members of the H&E board. If you wish to preview the threads in question, let me know. If no is the last word, so be it.

Well really, you'd also need to find out if there was even any interest from anyone here on H&E to read RPs made on a completely different forum.

Agreed, SB. Figured it was more important to make sure I could post them here to begin with as Step 2.
Here's the steps I was picturing:
Step 1: Get permission from RPers in question.
Step 2: Get permission to post on various boards.
Step 3: Find out if anyone wants to read them.
Step 4: Start posting if interest is high enough.
Just felt it was more logical to do the steps in that sequence.
