Shinihime:
Ok, that's good to know.  I'm new to this, and I think that I'd prefer to write a fantasy romance type thing story ness terminology thing if I wanted to write something longer.  I did start one once, but I lost my thumb drive and I'm a bit apprehensive about starting over...

Give me anything under 60k and sell it to me as a full blown book and I will cry havok, unless you clearly note it in the product description, in which case I will avoid it like the plague unless it has a appropriate price point... free?''

That said there are some wonderful stories out there that are lower word count.  Preferably bundled up in an anthology and part of a larger series?
