Question: how much do folks preferences for campaign length mesh with their preferences for fiction length? Some prefer short stories, others novellas, others single novels, while others really enjoy long running series. I definitely prefer the long running series (and as another mesh with gaming preferences, really enjoy series which happen in the same setting but may or may not be connected to each other - when pressed to pick a single favorite author, I have to go with C.J. Cherryh and the Alliance-Union/Chanur setting).
I just started Cyteen!
I definitely love the SF short story. Surprise surprise. And I love when one links to the next, too. I also love it when it's obvious that they're being made up as the author goes on.

preconceived to me, I guess.
