FWIW, I agree on wanting, or preferring both IC/EC, though I do think that with the shorter story there isn't always as much room for it, so there is a need to be extra creative. Thanks for the input, ladies! Well darn, I was really hoping to get some input from readers, not just authors, but it doesn’t appear that will be happening.

I think it makes for a more involving story and reveals character.

When I’m reading I like the subtlety of internal conflict. It’s an important part of the reading experience for me.

Great post, Jodi…I like being made to think…about writing and what I like to read. (g)
