I had that heart-in-mouth feeling really badly after putting my first drabble on GS100, and then after submitting my first thing to the archives... it definitely got easier with both after those first times!
I do hope there will be fabulous novel-length stories this time too - there have been some utterly fantastic ones. But yes, overall, I wouldn't mind seeing more shorter ones as a reader - the last time, I was a bit swamped with work and stuff, so I tended to jump at the shorter fics and devour those, while leaving the long ones for later.
I did bookmark everything and think I eventually managed to read nearly all of them, bar a few of the longer threesomes, but with some of the longer stories, it took me several weeks after they were posted. But it really was hard on occasion to give the longer stories the attention they deserved, as the sheer amount of reading to do did get a bit overwhelming. (Not that I'm complaining - I found plenty to like in most of the stories in the last round.)
