One point I'd make here - just to encourage people to send their stories to the archives - is that there are some people (like me) who don't read a story until it's posted on the archives. So to get more readers... you might want to consider posting on the archives.
Of course, in my case, I'm horribly behind on my archive reading, too. But I don't read stories in parts because I find that when I enjoy a story, I have no patience to wait for the next part. I have to have the whole story NOW!!!
