Quality or Quantity?

[Orion]

No offense to the people who say they get turned off by long posts, but reading is an essential part of becoming a better writer. You can get better by working at your style, adding description, etc. but in my opinion, the best way to improve is to read other people's work and see how they do it, which can give you ideas or open up other ways of writing. If you consider yourself a writer, I think it's pretty bad to say that if a post is big, you won't read it just for that reason.
