Funny what you say about drawing a story out--that's like my biggest worry in my own fics. There have been quite a few that I've tried to rush to a close--I mean, really--56 chapters? But no matter what I did, the ending just didn't feel right. I agree to a certain extent about the Suite'verse story. I'm not sure what the point of drawing that torturous stuff out is. Bright Lights, on the other hand, made sense to be so long--there were major changes going on and I appreciated the chance to absorb them. On the other other hand, while it hit my aversion to humiliation button rather hard and frequently, it never made me pray that the main character suicide, either.
I don't think I've read either of those writers and now, I'm afraid to! :)
