Looking for advice from fandom friends!<\/p>\n

I have a fic that I want to write, but I feel like every chapter installment would be short. I have nothing against short fics myself, but I have this weird guilt complex about short fics being less good than long ones? I\u2019d just like some advice\/ reassurance. I just can\u2019t really draw out these scenes, if that makes any sense?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s not the length that matters, it\u2019s the impact. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

#@merindab<\/a> #you should share the cupcake story<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay so I write short fics, mostly, and I too suffer sometimes from the\u00a0\u201cthis is short so it\u2019s not as valuable\u201d demon.<\/p>\n

I got told the BEST analogy at 221B con from @patternofdefiance and I really do need to print out and put it somewhere I can see it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like walking into a room and there\u2019s a tray of these beautiful gourmet cupcakes. They\u2019re still wonderful and delicious and sometimes all you want is a morsel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They aren\u2019t less good just because they\u2019re cupcakes instead of three-tiered wedding cake or something. Sometimes you want a cupcake and not a whole cake.<\/p>\n

Plus, like tiger said, it\u2019s not the length, it\u2019s the impact. I often joke that my fics are bigger on the inside.<\/p>\n

Feel free to come talk to me, I\u2019ll be happy to discuss if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
