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]

Many of my favorite stories are huge epics, but I don't want someone to post 10000 words at once.

SECONDED. I lose my place too easily if there's a huge chunk of text on the page. I like it when it's broken into chapters or parts for easier mental digestion! I would say my attention span is just a little shorter than yours, because I'm usually completely satisfied with fics that are 500 words or so in length.
