I really have to strain to write short stories. And when I think I've actually done it, actually written a short story I get the same con-crit every time, 'it's too big, it should be a novel!'
My problem is detail. I make things too intricate, introduce too many questions. And I've tried, oh how I have tried, to reduce detail and create a short peice.
Although I guess I must have done something right at last since one of my 'short' stories won the yaoi-con fiction writing contest. :\
Now if I can only beat the others into short story shape as well...
