Is there a list for slightly longer stories? I don’t mind a short story now and then, but I feel like a 6-minute story barely scratches the itch for me most of the time.
Edit to say that I mean longer than an hour, too. I filtered this list by length and they’re all very short, which is the point, obviously.
I guess I’m looking for a novella, or something like 4 hours in length, perhaps.
From what I’ve gathered the anthologies I’ve been reading is, for older sci-fi, magazine length is the largest selection. You do have some longer and actual full stories, but because of the lack of publishing interest, they were forced to write these shorter forms until atleast the 70s.
This is very cool!

I’ve limited the stories on my website to 20,000 to keep to the theme of short stories.
