A lot of readers bitched and whined when a side character in my story indirectly (and mostly accidentally) caused the deaths of a bunch of people and wasn't legally punished and condemned by the other characters afterwards. I still get love letters about that years later. Like nigga, who feels that strongly about a bunch of nameless background characters?

>finally come up with an idea that might be solid enough for publication
>realize the story's not long enough to be a full novel
>nobody in my country publishes short stories unless there are enough for a collection
Should I even bother?
