There's a story told by Isaac Asimov about him writing short stories about certain characters whilst his fans demand more novels, which is far too self-indulgent for me to detail here (drop me an email to hear it) but is very relevant - although these shorts are occasionally hit and miss, always welcome, and nice to have, we (the readers) really want a full-length Hunter Rose series, a novel please, Mr. Wagner.
