Diminishing returns.  It comes down to personal tastes, but I find that 
even good fanfics have a limited number of things to say.  If everything 
can be said in 20K it's more interesting than expanding it to 500K, IMHO.

Unfortunately, quantity does seem to be more important in terms of 
recognition for fanfic writers.

No No No No No No No.  I wish ^_^.

Rating my own works, there are about 4 or 5 shorts I think are more 
interesting than my Ranma/Nabiki series, which currently clocks in at 
about, I dunnow...75 typed pages or so.  I get more response per chapter 
than I have on the shorts combined.  And there's other forms of 
recognition which the series gets and the shorts don't.
