This does not work because these days if you wrote a hack fantasy drabble the publishers would want to bring it out as three 33 1/3 word paragraphs.

I was thinking specifically of Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy, initially propsed as a single million-word book. That didn't QUITE fly...

Yes. I personally would pay for a hardback single-volume edition on the grounds that it will hurt more when I ram it up the author's nose in part payment for slugging through 48000 pages of torture porn only to find the ending is a complete washout.
