Fictional Lengths

Two points, and I was wondering, wouldn’t the 500K word novels be best described as Neal Stephenson books? That seems to be his epic length.

Then, too, in an average week, do I really turn out 12 bits of MicroFiction? Or do I count a whole year as 1, maybe 2 novels?
Inquiring minds want to know.
