Depends on a few factors. Sometimes, I'm impatient as a reader and just want to read the TF scene with minimal buildup. Sometimes, I need the buildup to enjoy the TF so that it's all in context.

There's also a matter of the quality of the author. I'm not going to read a ten-page long story that's poorly written, but I might read a poorly written two-page story. On the other hand hand, if the author's really good at their craft, I'll read the story regardless of its length.
