I like long fantasy novells (over 200k)and good crisp mid-length (80k-140k) crime/thriller type books. A short fantasy usually seems lacking, and an overwritten thriller seems tiresome. I guess its the longer more vivid descriptions in fantasy. You cant just say. He jumped into the blue Pontiac and mashed the gas. Not if he just jumped on a sparkling blue scaled dragon, that leapt into the air and sped away on heavy wing strokes, with sleek, reptillion grace... You get the point!
I didn't vote because I have two preferences and I do care.
