Yep. I know people who are concerned about length and don't read something if it is too long/too short. Frustrating because I write long fics (sometimes very long) so if someone comes along and says "Oh, I didn't read your piece because it was so long, but I'm sure it's good"- what do I make of that? That I'm not readable because I write long fics? It's frustrating, but it happens. Like you stated, it should be less about length and more about girth and depth and quality rather than quantity.
