On one hand, I get it.
Being asked for more chapters when the story is marked completed (or getting complains about the length when the summary says it's a drabble) is annoying.

On the other hand, I get why readers feel like that sometimes.
I swear I keep seeing vignettes that have pretty interesting ideas, but they go nowhere. What's the point at all of that?

As a writer, if I get an idea that feels like a vignette, that's all it is. I know the difference between "this feels like it's the climax of something more" and "this just feels like a scene I want to write". And when I try to build around the latter, it always turns out worse, or completely changes the scene I originally wanted to write.

I would honestly rather read an interesting one-off than watch someone try to build around something that is a really interesting idea but pays off badly. And I'd rather trust my instincts on what *I* can write and leave an interesting idea as a one-off, rather than trip and fall flat on my face.
