1. Short stories don't make a lot of money and unless they are spectaular they are "out of print" in around a month.
I think it is as simple as that.
Not to mention there isn't really many short fiction venues anymore. Most of the mainstream slicks don't carry it any more and the digests are dying. There's some online, but outside of SCI FICTION, I doubt it attracts many beyond the writer population.
2. I write with fountain pen's often, if you stop to think too long the ink in the tip wants to dry out - I end up making a lot of scratchy marks around the edges to combat it.
I don't know there are advantages other than I like it.
