As a reader, I don't really mind if a book is a stand alone or the first in a serie, although I might not buy a book that is from a series that contains more than three books, before I read something about it that made me really, really curious.
As a writer, my first novel is a stand alone. That is also the story that will be translated in English first. My second story is a trilogy. I didn't plan it that way, it just was what the story needed. At this point I think my new story will be a duology (which might end as a series of six books, as every story so far became three times longer then I thought... help...)
I like the idea of publishing a stand alone first, so people can get to know the kind of stories I write, without having to wait on a sequel to know how the story ends.
