I've got this story...

Hi. I posted this in the "Larps inspired by TCTC" thread on the main forum, but it might belong here instead.
Well, there you have it.
I'm mostly curious how long installments people here are prepared to read at a time. I realise of course they can't get too long or no one will be bothered to read them, but on the other hand you don't want to get it too chopped up.
I could, of course, start off with the 'prologue', and then you can tell me if it's the right length, too long or even too brief.
And of course, I do welcome criticism and opinions. I know my English will come off as sometimes horribly stilted, and I'd really appreciate tips on rephrasing awkward passages.

Guess I'd better come clean about this...I'm an inveterate LARPer, as well. Actually, I'm one of the two main gamemasters behind the campaign Ylva Kresh mentions in her first post.
In fact, a couple of years ago I wrote a fairly lengthy account/story of "Thule in Flames", the adventure that started off the campaign on its current track and which, incidentally, has been the most Donaldsonesque of the events so far. Reading this forum inspired me to start translating this story into English.
Now, I'm wondering... if I were to post the story here in installments, would anyone be interested in reading it? It might not be great literature (although I've tried my best), but it's been considered a pretty engaging story by several people, not all of whom were actually in the LARP, and as I've hinted I imagine Donaldson fans might find it interesting (Ylva Kresh did, anyway
The thing is, it's pretty long. All together, it probably runs to some 15-20 pages. I will of course break it up into small installments, but how long is the "pain threshold" for each part?
