Re: Story Length

(Anonymous) 2015-03-15 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
A length that lets the author tell the story without going into a billion side plots/rambling endlessly/characters go nowhere. One of my favorite fics is over a million words, and there's not a single bit of bloat. That takes skill.

Don't have an upper limit. Lower limit? Unless it's a drabble, less than 1000 words unless it's an author I know to be good. I feel the same way about fics with chapters that are under 1000 words long. It's just not enough of a chunk to read to feel satisfying to me.
