Opinion: how many lines should a story be?

Hi guys!
So as the title quite obvious shows, I want to know how many lines a story should be.
I hope you can help me out!
Love, Esther

Well, I mostly keep my story between lines 1000-1500

It’s very hard to say. I’d say 400, minimum. Directing can only last one line but take forever and be over with in a minute. It also depends whether you direct all on one line or space it out. :grin:

Moved to Episode Fan Community since this doesn’t fit into any Creator’s Corner category. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about creating topics, and feel free to PM me if you’ve got questions. :wink:

Everyone’s directing is different, so I’d go by time instead of lines.
I think an average of 10-15 minutes seems to be popular, but slightly longer/shorter is usually considered fine.
I think a lot of people consider episodes <5 minutes to be a bit short and if your episode is too long, there’s a chance that readers may exit halfway through.
