How does one get internet-famous?

I have Part I of a fantasy novel on a website. It's not something that can be published as a book, because it does a lot of stuff with the internet medium that could not work in a print book. (In this sense, I guess a better analogy would be a webcomic than a book.)
I'd like to get a wide audience, obviously. I realize that there is a ton of shit fantasy/sci-fi that people post on blogs ... I certainly hope mine counts as something more innovative and interesting than that.
What steps can one take to give a website exposure that don't involve sitewhoring or digg/reddit spamming?

I would pay for ad space to not be famous in those communities.
Look into Scott Sigler's model. He podcasts his books before they're published, and runs almost a pay-what-you-think-it's-worth scheme for it.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
1) be really active in relevant forums/communities and rise to the level of minor-net-celeb organically
2) do something really dumb or really funny and put it on youtube, and hope it catches on
Given that doing something dumb on video doesn't seem like a good option for promoting a piece of writing, I would start looking for major writing forums (or forums like this one that have writing communities) and asking for feedback.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
