To me, a good post is something that people interested in the subject actually want to read. Which is a completely different thing from a good account.
Yes. An individual post is like that, but if it is a standalone without history or future, it will always remain an individual post. Part of a series however, it becomes part of the story in a life and the lives with whom it connects. This "life" flow is the community and builds culture.
Unfortunately, the best posts on Earth are still not adding value if nobody knows they exist.
Exactly! It is the same in a community - the best idea is useless, if no one hears it or is willing to listen. In a community however...
This is why I just recently completed the Goddess of Darkness series. The finish has been written since I started being active here, but with only a few readers I decided to wait to publish it (and ended up making a few small edits in the process). It just didn't seem worth posting something that I'd put so much time into if it would never be seen. And by waiting, some ended up reading from the beginning :)
