I think something short to start with, to grab the attention and hint at what's to come. A big long read for the first post can be a barrier.
More important is to be able to follow it up quickly and keep your audience hooked.
And in the long run the most important thing is to know that you will be able to keep them supplied with updates without a long wait.
Good luck |

This totally ! I have written a few, some I think good some not so. The most popular ones have been of this suggested format, the least popular ones have been longer 'one off' stories.
To be fair just try something and see what happens.

Personally I prefer something to read. The ones I don't like are those with a few lines. It's ok to start with something shorter, set your store out, then build the story. Look at those with the most replies, the most popular and use those as a guide on length. But please don't do a few lines, then ask if you should do more. Find that stops any flow. But that's just me. |
