So, my question is, if you read the story, what prompted you to read it? Would you have read it if the origingal post had been 200k or more?
1) I have read the story.
2) Curiousity based on the author's note about a frog in a frying pan caused me to select it for reading.
3) For me, the original post included the whole story ... the 200K does not matter to me. My decision to read an entire piece is based on style, coherency, and if the author has piqued my interst sufficiently that I will read the next paragraph.
