What is the best way to present literature in AALBC?

Dear @Troy

I am working on a story and I plan on posting it only in the forum of AALBC. But, I realize, I never asked you , what is the best way to present literature in AALBC? 

I know with html tools you can use textareas and you can always just place text in a forum post or blog post, but in your experience on the website you own and always manage in majority, what is the best way to present literature?

You can post it here or another discussion forms, or I can post it as an article linked to your webpage here on AALBC.

In terms of the best way, it depends on what you mean by best. If I post it, it will probably look better. If you post to here more people will see it at least initially.

Even point. My focus is on what offers the best readability, readability defined as ease of use or comfortability in use, on AALBC. I have read a few posts on AALBC in mobile where it was a really long scrolling. I don't think that is easy or comfortable. I considered audios only. But not every one wants to hear , many still like to read. I know PDF is no good cause not everyone has a pdf reader and some devices make people have to download the pdf. 

Am I right to assume the Forum is the most visible part of the website? More than clubs or blogs?

Ther forums are more popular than the clubs or the blogs because of organic reach.  If I post on AALBC proper more poele may see it if ti is promoted.

 

PDFs are readable by anyone with a modern browser and they retain your desired format some may print it out. 

 

How many words are we talking?

@Troy  thank you so I will post in the forum and it will be the text in a scrollable text area with audio versions above. I can use tumblr audio posts to host audio files and then use simple formatting to make the text easier for people. My goal is just to finally post a story in aalbc. I admit, I manage a group outside and a contest came up and it made me think I am running the contest but this can give me a reason to make a story for aalbc, which I have the body of already. I just think aalbc should have more literary content.  

I am thinking 2,000 

This is my example I will delete after you tell me what you think, any ideas are welcome. 

None of the places online I use to store files, allow for embedding of pdf's externally.
