Hit or Miss: Length Edition

So we've already been over what we like to see in titles, summaries, ratings, and warnings. There's not much wank-free territory left to cover in headers, but still I persevere in poll-making.

Last category to do: length. Do you like to indulge in something epic? Do you prefer your fic in bite-sized portions? Do you perhaps give something a try because it's short, and thus you won't waste a lot of time? Or is a fic only worth your while if it has a lot to offer, verbosely speaking?

Rules are pretty self-explanatory at this point; jump in on discussions if you feel so inclined!

[Poll #1363928]

I love longer fics, but only if they're well-written and about characters I like. I'm not a huge fan of drabbles/100 words because a lot of the time, I'm left wanting more of whatever plot/idea it is.

Drabbles are like candy - they taste good but you need to eat like a handful at a time. But then sometimes they turn your mouth a different color, and your teeth ache from... wait, this analogy is getting out of hand.
