Penny novels under 100 pages: would that format work for readers?
Original: # PhantastikPrompts 21. Groschenromane, eine Story unter 100 Seiten – wäre das ein Format für dich? Tatsächlich habe ich
German fantasy and horror readers are debating whether short penny-novel-style stories of under 100 pages could work as a format. One writer notes that with horror she struggles to get past 100 pages, and even reaching the 300-page mark with longer stories is difficult, so the shorter format may actually suit her writing better.
Why now: The #PhantastikPrompts prompt series is prompting fantasy writers to discuss story length and whether short-form fiction suits them.
