I'm a relatively serious author on here, writing takes most of the remaining time I have on the wiki. I always think the plot of a story through completely before I begin writing it, then begin writing. While I don't plan every detail- stories are dominated by the intentions of the characters- I try to have a good idea of where I want the story to go. If you're planning a large arc of stories, plan ahead (If you have one massive plot arc or more that spans all or most of the stories, plan that out to the end). In fact, I've actually finished the last chapter of the last story in my continuity, so I know how it all ends. However, don't plan every single detail either, or you'll never really finish, or even worse, all of the stories leading up to the climax of the last story will be rushed. While you should always know where your storyline is going, you should never plan every detail.

Lastly, make sure the characters are well-rounded. If they're interesting, the stories will be read.

And regarding the club thing: I'm sorry, I have way to much on my hands already, considering I've essentially taken over the Xaterex Storyline (The co-creator is inactive), and I'm also working on the DR trilogy. Sorry, but I hope you find my advice useful.
