I like it that you quoted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. This was of course a series of short stories and novelllas. It was Mr Conan Doyle that got me excited about books. Personally, I think the shorter forms are better for series. And I agree though with what you said about many books being driven by marketing these days. I guess it's about where you draw the line between wanting to write stories that you hope people will enjoy and cynically chasing readers.
