I’ve read often on this forum that the ideal length for a Lit story is three to five Lit pages (roughly 8k to 18k words). To the extent that I can interpret this, it doesn’t mean that the length, itself, makes the story good, or popular. It’s that if a story of that length is good, readers will finish it, and their votes and comments will be favorable. It may also mean that a story that develops characters, moves them believably through situations, and has enough hot sex arising from the situations, needs that many words for it to be written properly.
To authors who have actual experience with 3-to-5-is-good, I ask: In your well-regarded stories of that length, how much did readers bookmark them? (Or add them to what Lit calls ‘lists’ on the category hubs?) Did this happen more or less often than with stories of other lengths, or stories that are less well-regarded?
