I personally prefer the shorter stuff since I'm writing a long one - fatigue from reading another long ass story when I'm already writing one.

As for comedies, the characters are usually OOC for exactly that reason - because it's funny. You exaggerate a trait and downplay the others, and voila! Hilarity ensues. As long as you don't blow up the character completely it usually is acceptable - if you want IC stuff then yes, With Fire Comes Shadow is one of the serious fics that will fulfill that wish.

Recurring Dreams has good comedy too, and a serious storyline despite being just at two chapters. It's very long too.
