Nono, I'm not saying I don't like long stories. I do. I prefer them, but the have to be good and they have to have a point. I like to see an author has it plotted out and I'm confident s/he knows what starts it, carries it and ends it.

It's FF.net syndrome I hate, which I think could carry onto LJ a bit as well, perhaps. Authors write and write and write, sometimes based on the praise they're receiving and sometimes even incorporate whatever shit is suggested in their "reviews."

That is not effective storytelling at all. Those are the neverending stories I loathe.
