He asked students early on how many read short fiction and only one or two raised their hands. He did this to point out that the big market for speculative fiction is in novels as this is what most people read. The class itself had people write a novel for working groups.<br /><br />I'd say go with short fiction if your story can be made short enough. Or if you really enjoy reading and writing short fiction more than "feature-length" fantasy. I'm just starting out with a novel after abandoning trying my hand at short stories because the fact is I haven't read shorts, I've read novels. Of course, that may change after this post!
