I say anything under 8:00 is short. I consider 8:00 to about 14:59 midlength. I wouldn't consider something epic until it crosses the 15:00 mark. Maybe it's something to do with a quarter-hour. Maybe that's about the minimum you can get away with and call it a side-length piece. Anyway, 15:00 is my minimum length for an epic.
The theme was not epics.
