What's your favourite fic length?
Are you a one-shot fan? The kind of person who dives into epics? Somewhere in between?
I can't think of a way to add complete vs. WIP preferences, so just tell me those in the comments. ;)




I kind of have different preferences depending on the type of fic - if it's only romance, 10-30k is just about perfect. If it's romance with other stuff happening, longer works well too. My favourite genre is adventure fic, though, and that I prefer to have minimum 100k :D (though even there, it can get too long! If your fic is 800,000 words and spans only a few months I will probably suspect you of being needlessly wordy.)
Also, under 10k is perfect when I should be going to bed but still want to read something :P
It really depends on how much time I have. My day off - bring on the epics. Twenty minutes before I leave for work - 2k fics are perfect. So all lengths really!
It depends on what works for the story. I do backbutton out of epics more quickly, because I will get invested and read all 100K+ of a fic I don't actually like.
I always thought that once you hit 100K you reached epic territory myself. Though I will say the upper limit for the majority of the stories I read are 50K-150K
But I hardly read anything that doesn't have a interesting premise that shouldn't be glossed over in 30K words. I also like fics where there's focus on the characters and what they do in their downtime as well as what they do in their jobs.
