Discussion: Some say short stories are difficult to write; others find it very hard to think up longer plots. Is there a particular length of story that you're most comfortable with?

I'm trying to write some short stories because I need practice finishing things, but multi-chapter adventures are where my heart is. Keeping things simple is quite a challenge (although it's fun to try).

Yesterday (since it is now the following morning) was a thinky day, mostly because I was very tired and could do little else. (Snow is pretty, but trudging through it is obnoxious.)

I used to do nothing but longfics, but I've since learned to focus on shorts instead. Not to be crude, but 'ficcers get a very low return on their time investment, for the most part, when they do longfics, especially in smaller fandoms like the ones I inhabit. It's been my experience that most readers don't have the patience for them.
