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!

That's a good way to go about it. Sometimes if something really massive is recced to me, I'll try reading the author's shorter fics first, so I can get a feel for it. I mean, if you could do the same with authors of books, why wouldn't the same rule apply to fics?
