I also have no interest in reading a single long story carved up into short pieces and dribbled out a week at a time. The idea of paying to read a work in progress that may never be completed does not appeal to me either.
Vella allows episodes up to 5000 words, the length of a shortish short story. My preferred Vella content would be short stories with a common theme or set of characters, with each story concluded within three sequential episodes. Best would be stories using characters already established by the same author in a traditional book series that I already like. That would get me reading Vella.
