I tend to think a(n active enough) forum is a better place for a quest story than the main site here.
Non-lurkers go to forums specifically to be active. The posts are generally more visible for longer, and bumping for the sake of bumping is acceptable (within reason)
People go to an erotica site to get their kicks. Once a (generally small) core group of people lose interest it's very hard for a quest story on this site to recover in any meaningful way.
Eh, the primary reason i decided to put the [quest] story on the main site rather than the forum was to A. get more input(because Quest stories the forum typically only get 1 or 2 people playing along) and B. to sort of obligate me into keeping up with it.
You can always add some sort of random event to the otherwise-ordinary day. It doesn't even have to directly affect the main character - it can be something random (like a failed theft attempt she sees) or something unusual she witnesses (possibly an event that hints at things that might happen in the future).
