  1. I suppose for me, it's about writing first and business second. I never have much luck if I worry about where I'll sell something: even things that start out as good ideas become heavy weights and I stall. (Conservator is like that, as are Faerrie Story and Ripples).

    As for anthologies of short stories, I think one should write them if they see them. Then, one could pitch individual ones to magazines, and anthologize later; find a house for the anthology in todo; or some third option like self-publishing or blogs.

    As for my preferred length as a reader, it depends on the story and the author. I'm a voracious reader, so I love series, but there are short story collections I love as well – two by Ursula LeGuin are my favorites, as are several from Ray Bradbury and one from Isaac Asimov.
