Long text or short text captions?

As a fellow caption fan, I'd like to know what your preferences are. Do you like short texted captions, which just transmit an idea, a concept with few words, or you like better the long texted ones, that almost tell a mini story?

Short sharp text is always best.

Mostly short but some long ones are outrageously good. But, to be good I think the longer ones have to reach a much higher caliber than the shorter ones..otherwise I get bored.

I have not found the length of a text to detract or add to its quality in any significant way. There are some extremely long but excellent text captions in the castration thread that are great, and some very short ones in scattered threads that have different types of triggers. Some are better instant, and some are much better when built up.

Shorter is better most of the time .....
The picture sets the scene, and the caption puts the twist on it.
A long drawn out story does not allow enough space for the reader to put their own little twist into it as they read it.
My thoughts for what they are worth.

short but not too much "easy"
