...something just occurred to me in light of the flood of vignettes that seem to be out there ... is it going to become the preferred style of online fic-writing, and are the longer stories I must assume someone's writing somewhere all reserved for zines?
That would be a bummer. I like long stuff, and I liked it being free. :)

As much as I love the various flash fiction communities I have to admit they also drive me crazy. Far too often I just start to get into a story and it's done. Argh! I love longer, meatier stories, and I definitely worry that people are writing the shorter things instead of working on longer pieces. Of course, it's not as if I've had a lot of time to read lately, but it's the point of it all.

I also totally agree that it would be a bummer if the good longer stuff being written ends up in zines. I like zines, but I love opening my browser and finding someone's posted a new story.

And not to be a nag, but are you writing? I think the world needs a new (long) story by Lee the T. :-D

Er...well, I have been writing, but in the other (vast) fandom. But in taking a break from that, I have been pulled out a couple of half-done MFU things that I'd like to finish up and post -- probably at the Madhouse. :) They've been sitting a long time (see my post below for more).

Plus I suppose as a writer it's not the same if you're the one posting a new story, since it's hardly new to you. That happens to me as a beta. Everyone will be anxiously awaiting a new story and it won't be new to me because I've been betaing it for weeks.

But let me just say 'Yippee!' that you're working on some unfinished things and that you'll hopefully archive at the Madhouse. Hopefully by the time you're ready to upload we'll have the graphics in place and it'll be all pretty.
