While I have nothing against short fiction, the reason I’m not drawn to it is that I want to get to know the characters. That takes time.
My sweet spot tends to be a long stand-alone novel or a duology/trilogy.
When you go longer than that, into some epic series, I’m skeptical. By default I view it as someone writing for a career rather than to tell their optimal story, with *very* limited exceptions.
It’s harder to write a good short story than a novel. On top of that all the good short story magazines are gone.
