Making a series have people salivating for more & turns them into regular readers! I would rather have 10 trusted & regular readers than have a 1,000 visitors with no input (if a blog) low conversion if a business site!
Those 10 guys will recommend your site/ blog to all & may give you backlinks etc etc!
It pays to have friends & regular readers(buyers)! Take Amazon (site), JC or shoe (blogs) ! Remove their regulars & they sink into the depths of the online world!
Coming back to the point, as KP says quality over quantity rules!
I dont think there is anything wrong with longer posts at all personally I use relatively short posts my advice would be do whatever is best for you if the content is good I feel that your visitors will read your posts anyway regardless of how long or short your stories are and even if they are somewhat on the shorter side you can always make sure you use an image in the post which can give the illusion of making it look bigger than maybe it is.

Yeah, quality has a lot to d with keeping people reading. If your blog is basically just a way to pas out your website and make announcements to visitors and exisiting customers then I'd favour the quantity approach though.

people prefer to read what they like...
now your content can be of 2 lines or of 200... if you are able to keep them interested.. i guess even 200 lines will be less...
