@akargeFewer than 1% of the stories I've posted to SoL are larger than 10K, but there are more than a hundred of these. Most of the longer ones were written before I started illustrating my stories, but some of the longer ones are illustrated. A good example of a long, illustrated story is "Painting Lessons." Almost all the shorter stories are illustrated. I make use of DAZ Studio to do the pictures, often supplemented by my own photographs and usually refined with various digital art tools.
If you've not read any of my shorter stories, they vary in tone from light to dark, with a large majority on the light side. If you care about scores, right now the top-rated is "A Room with a View," and the lowest rated is "Despair at Dawn." Almost all the low-rated stories are dark. I suspect this illuminates the SoL readers' strong preference for stories with a happy ending.
"Emma Aroused" is a very short story with a rating in the middle of "my range" but it is atypical in that it could be misconstrued as a "second person point of view" story.
Incidentally, my goal with the illustrations is to provide story information beyond a portrait of the characters. The ideal illustration delivers information important to the story and not necessarily apparent in the text. I know I don't always succeed in that. I'm remembering the illustrations in the storybooks of my young childhood when I could delight in the pictures while my parents read the words.
