A Clarification on Short Stories

Yesterday, I mused that if readers dislike short stories, perhaps my writing time would be better spent on novels. I thought I should clarify that statement in light of other statements I've made encouraging readers to request specific stories.

In the future, I may not release shorter works to the public for sale. What I'm doing under my other pen name is releasing shorter stories only to newsletter subscribers. That way, if particular readers dislike shorter story forms, they simply don't have to read them and feel no obligation to buy them, either, simply because they're a fan of my stories. It's a win-win situation, as far as I can tell, for both me and readers. 

If this is the kind of direction you'd like me to take with the Vampyr stories, don't hesitate to let me know. I am always open to reader feedback, whether it takes the form of an honest review (and trust me, I appreciate those no matter what's said) or the form of an e-mail.
