With short snippets, you get to voice the idea, the reader gets to enjoy the story without having to stay up all night and miss school/work, and everybody wins. ^_^

Yeah, that's probably gonna be my chosen path - seems like a plan fitting for me! There may be some ideas that work better long-form, and idk what to do about those, lol. Some may be able to be converted into shorter stories; it is possible I might write some longer ones but probably not novel length. At any rate, it's probably best to try to do things a step at a time, focus on simpler stories first and not get too ambitious.
