I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. But I was curious about short stories, and how others would like them posted.

Most of my short stories fall between 500 words and 1,500 words. Should they be posted on the archive as stand alone stories, or should I make one entry, and post the short stories as chapters within that entry?

What do you think? What's your preference?

Thanks!
Lady R.

I love reading short bits, but I'm more likely to do it if they're separate (especially if they can stand alone).

Besides, you'll get a bump on the "latest postings" story page every time you post a new one, if you post them separately.

'Round here we just post 'em as we see 'em. The practice has been to make separate entries for separate work, although there are some who post them collected.

Like Viv, I am more likely to read a short work on its own.

Awesome, because that's about what I was thinking too. But I know some communities have certain ways they want shorter stories, so I thought I would check.

Thanks for your help Nancy and Viv!!!

That's why I appear to have done so much work, lots of my stories are drabbles and all are listed independantly .

I only have 2 long stories, "Captain of The Haven" and "Changes", then I have my mid length story "A New World". Otherwise most f my stories are shorter works.

It's just so hard to committ to a long work right now in my life, but I do enjoy writing them. I know readers can have troubles committing to a long story too, hence why I think my long works have a loyal core audience, but certainly aren't my most reviewed tales.

I will surely get around to posting all my works here, regardless of length.
