Perfect story length?
a year ago
I'm writing a new story at the moment, back to some on my usual fair. This time TF/TG, but with a much slower pace of TF, taking place over the course of several days. I'm about done writing the first day, and noticed I'm already at 7-9 pages, so I thought - what exactly is the perfect length?
Would you prefer 4 mini-stories, each <10 pages, or a single long story of 40-50 pages in length? This at usual Microsoft Word sizes, not the slightly larger text most people use for PDFs.

Alternatively, you could publish it in parts, then republish a completed version once all the mini-stories are done.
It's also ok to put it into a single file if that's better reading experience as a continuous story.
Some may find a whole long story intimidating, while some prefer such since it's more immersive.
