Quick and dirty, less than 2000 words? 3000? 5? screw it if it's not straining the 10k limit it's not worth the time?

I have one i the pipe (Hopefully approved in the next couple weeks, just shy 5,000, on deck, 4200. what say ye? oh, they are both part ones.

My advice would be to split the existing 5000 and 4200 in approximately half. You'll get more readers (ignoring factors for subject/tags/writing quality) as you'll find in WannabeWordsmith's link to a similar thread.

If the story and writing intrigue me enough the length becomes irrelevant but if I haven't read the author before I might ignore a story of 4-5K in favour of a shorter one.
