Hello everyone,
I wanted to preface this by saying a quick hello, this is my first time "joining the forum/discussion world of Literotica.
I have been a member with Lit for awhile and have submitted a few stories as well as illustrations of my own. In the process of my story writing I find myself building upon one particular "base story" and filling out additional "chapters", if you will, of said story. Those stories do typically receive good comments/ratings but I have had readers comment that it would be interesting to see them woven into one continuous story. While I will agree the idea has merit, it would result in more of a novel rather than a short story. My question is this:
How long is too long for an online story?
With everything combined it would likely end up being around 8-10 pages and that, to me, seems to be more than bit much. I personally would give up on it well before the end unless I had the expectation pre-set, like when you buy a book and have at least a real expectation of how long it really is. I would definitely appreciate some perspective from other authors.
