That's one of the things that drives me about the site. I just think it would be so fun to have some of the stories eventually "completed", and then I could get them printed. Even if they don't "sell" and are just vanity projects, it'd be fun to have a series of StorySprawl books on my shelf. I actually do have two of the stories completed so far, but they are both pretty lousy. :) But if I ever get some serious time off, I could see myself diving into a markdown/pandoc/latex/docbook thing to start auto-printing them.
It is really fun to make books - I've also read some lengthy popular fan-fiction works, and when they get popular enough, people pop up to make underground books out of them. My wife printed out the six-book "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" series for me from a github repo for Christmas. Looks nice on my shelf!
