Solo roleplaying is, by definition, a solitary pastime, but I notice there seems to be a tendency for players to archive their sessions online for others to read.

More recently I've started keeping my sessions in a dedicated document for the game in question, sometimes in Google Docs, sometimes in Word/Scrivener/whatever. The RPGSolo stuff is obviously public, but I've wondered where and how to share the other material, assuming I share it at all.
Where do you choose to put your actual play write-ups? Social media (here or some other site)? A blog? A message board? Somewhere else?

Partly because I only really nailed a system for maintaining a coherent campaign structure after I gave up on the last one I posted. I have one or two now that are going strong and I am considering either posting somewhere or starting a blog for
