	Again, not far for the majority of the list.  A good portion of the
fanfic reading community here stores fics for later use.  A short fic
is easier and quicker to read when you are cramped for time, and
therefore more likely to get a response.  A sillyfic or spamfic also

You have got that right.  I have only 90 minutes per day to scan my 
mail (and this is not the only list I'm on) and check newsqroups.  All
fics get saved, downloaded and read later. By the time I'm back to my
mail, I've either forgotten wich ones I wanted to comment on, someone else
has said what I wanted to say or I have run out of time.

ps. I do like Ill Met by Starlight.  And like the rest of you, I would
like to know why?
