I certainly haven't cared much about hurting people's feelings in my stories. As long as you don't write anything shockingly offensive, it's perfectly fine.

As for your problem about focusing on one character, I fail to see what you're having trouble with. If the character is really well developed, then it doesn't matter if he/she is the only person in the universe. My advice would be that you introduce the character, then his/her problem, build up the suspense, reach a climax, and then end either immediately after that or let things peter out.

The length is irrelevant; if the story is good we will keep reading. Thanks for your advice.
