Best place to share stories written?

from GalCiv3 Forums

So on the Paradox forums, they have what they call "AARs." They range from a bunch of things, from straight up just playing a game and sharing your progress with the community, to comedic and/or epic stories of adventure. I tend to rather like writing the latter, and I was wondering what the best forum would be for writing an AAR (or whatever any other equivalent here is referred to as)? I was mostly thinking between here, Steam, and Discord, but possibly a different place depending on the overall utility of such a platform. Is there a place people normally share stories like this?

I don't think there is enough activity or demand for something like that. People sometimes share games they've placed of course but it's usually just a post in the relevant games main forum. Fanfiction and other fan creations are encouraged but again we don't really see enough demand for a dedicated area.

If demand is low, would it be visible to more people if I put it here, on Steam, or on Discord? Or is there yet a more appropriate platform? 

Good to know that I will just put it in the main forum then, if I end up doing this. Still a bit burned out from my Stellaris one on Paradox.

Actually I think we do have AAR section somewhere as I used to quite regularly write them.  Looks like it was just for GalCiv II.

When time comes for GalCiv IV I'll definitely make sure we start with those as there will be a lot more CK/Stellaris style events in there to spice things up.
