With reddit & tumblr I could see you getting traffic if you can find a picture to go along with the storyline and then you could post the pic, along with a couple of sentences of the story with a ... to read more here type of link 
Good luck with your new site  |
Thanks for the suggestion. In term of monetizing, I don't think it's much different than other kind of sites. The ad click through rate was about 1:100-200, then another similar ratio for signups. So you are looking at 10k-40k visitors per signup. With right niche (dating site was very good), the ratio can be 10x better. Again, that was 10+ years ago. I am sure an experienced admin can do better than that.
