Thinking of doing shorter stories more often

Posted by Malus 4 years ago

 

I have overall had a lot more output this year and the one before in terms of getting to write stories, but I have been thinking about trying to do a couple of shorter ones for a change, maybe more in line with "The Minotaur and the Snake Prince" or "Before the Banquet" in terms of length or even a bit shorter.
I do observe that when I read erotic fiction, I definitely come back to shorter ones rather often - or alternatively that I will skip ahead to the "climax", so to say, in a longer story. And while I definitely tend to enjoy doing the "whole thing", with a bit of setup, backstory and description, I guess others might also appreciate something more focused on the sexual bits.

I still do have at least two longer stories that are in the works, one set in a world of scalies where prey species males have to cometo terms with the fact that sooner or later, they will end up someone's lunch and another for Kumbartha's Dragon Debacle series. But aside from those, I do think I shall try a few shorter vignettes and see if they prove popular enough.

Well, if anyone does actually read that, I sure would welcome your feedback on short vs long stories, especially those of a vorish nature.^^
If you are a regular reader, definitely let me know what kind of stuff you tend to enjoy!
