As much as I adore books in the m/m romance genre, I admit that I tend to give short stories and novellas a wide berth. Unless it’s in a well-established setting with previously-known characters, there just doesn’t seem enough time to lay down the background, create the characters, introduce conflict, and resolve the conflict in a satisfying manner in such a short span. Maybe I’m just not reading the right short stories/novellas, I dunno – I haven’t found one yet I really enjoyed.

(This musing is brought to you by a post by Charlie Cochet about The Soldati Prince. The book looks interesting, but given the characters and the world-building involved, being less than 100 pages is a major turn-off for me.)
