I would be interested to read what the average reader thinks and likes as far as story length is concerned.

I think I had a story rejected because it wasn't long enough. Or to be more accurate I was asked if there were other installments and as there was not, it didn't get published. Hmm...or at least I think that is the reason, all I know for sure is I was asked that question and after my reply never heard back about it and my other stories were put on the site but not that one. It is short, but its a complete story and I think as good as many things published here...but I suppose I am biased. Anyway, I felt it was a shame,,,I think it is by far the best thing I have written, (perhaps not saying all that much) and along with my story Joeys Detention always generated the most comments from readers. So, I am not sure what the readers desire, but my impression is the story gatekeeper prefers them longer.
