I think that with many writers, the amount of time spent on events, and the economy of language, so to speak, is inherent in their style. That said, I tend to favor longer pieces, but I don't necessarily think that the depth of the story determines my predilection for them... I think it's more a matter of me generally liking epic works as opposed to novels with a more striking tone! If that makes any sense whatsoever! Really interesting post, in any case. I like. :) Honestly, I’m not sure if this will sound dense, but it’s rather difficult for me to separate length as an entity unto itself.
