Scot, is this you? If I had to pee in the middle of a ten minute story I would probably not come back to finish it. Because if I liked it, I would have held it until I finished the article. But, some authors I will always read....Shannon Ashley, Kathy K, and KiKi Walter are a few that write some longer articles but keep me quite interested until the end. It's an individual decision....to read or not to read. I hope if I write something longer than my usual 3-6 minute stories, my favorite followers will read it and not just skip it due to its length.
