I'd use a username/password to access the site. Registered people (15$/year) have total access to current materials, archive materials, the RSS feeds and DOC downloads so they can read on their PDAs. Unregistered folks may see _half_ the current articles and that's all. This will provide enough "taste" for free and be lowcost enough that joining would be painless - 15$ a year is fewer than 3 hamburger meals in the course of a year.
One fun thing to add would be the writer rumble. It's a round robin storytelling where each writer has a character in the story, and everyone is trying to write the others into a corner.
