What? Are you crazy? The longer the better! Specially if the story is good enough to sustain the length. Or finishing it with rushed endings... What a better way to kill a story than having a rushed ending? Come one, if your story is already novel-lenght, taking time to write an adequate ending aint' gonna kill the readers, they haven been with you this long, right? Obviously as much as I love long fics, that does not mean I would read anything large... some authors make me lost interest of huge fics that started promising but bah... On the other hand... Incredibly good story that are also incredibly short... ergh! Makes me want a sequel. It's that it was so good but it stopped too quickly. It's like a denied orgasm. It was getting good, and then... it ends! WHY! Of course, I read anything good no matter the lenght, even if I wished short stories weren't so... I find myself loving drabbles and ficlets... because I already know they would be short and have a killing ending, good enough to satisfy me... like a good quickie... Ok, I babbled enough now.
