Opinion Poll: Chapter Length for a Story

First, obligatory plug: I'm going to start posting a new story in the Growth forum this Sunday. It's finished, and has been for about a week. Right now I'm getting some help on proof-reading, and doing some last minute polishing.

My question is this: what is an acceptable length for daily installments of a story? My memory HAD been that I was posting around the rate of 2000 words/day previously. But I was looking at an older work of mine, and discovered it was more in the 1000 range.

Let me break it down: for the average reader, 1000 words takes ~5 minutes to read. 2000, 10 minutes. I will follow this post with two examples of what this amount of text looks like, to give you a better idea.

Note that this is not a question about whether you like longer or shorter stories, but about how much time you would like to spend reading per day.

And PLEASE, only response to this poll if you read Process-related stories.
