I can't believe I didn't answer this the first time.
If I grow up to be Scott Westerfeld, that'd be pretty ok. Long series, short books, cyberpunk, dystopian, dieselpunk with a biopunk twist, science vampires, dark fantasy - the whole spectrum of spec fic exists in his wheelhouse. Plus he's always a half-step ahead of the big trend (Uglies and Peeps both came out just before dystopian sand vampires got huge respectively) and a very large, passionate fan base while managing not to blow up into overexposure.
I wouldn't complain about becoming Tamora Pierce either (in an updated cross-genre way). That kind of longevity is hard to come by.
