Fic Question

[amberfocus]

Chapter Eight of That Which One Cannot Do Without is looking like it is coming up on 4500 to possibly 5000 words.  I may need to make a chapter nine.  It'll end with nine if I do, but if I post them as two separate chapters I'd have to break right before the smut because that is the natural stopping place.  I'd post 8 today and 9 tomorrow, so it woudn't be a long wait.  Is a 5000 word chapter too long?  Most in this story are 2000-2500 words long.  If I keep it one chapter I won't post until tomorrow.  Thoughts?

As much as I'm *dying* to read the entire thing, chapters with more than 3000 words tend to make my eyes go all cross-y. I've got nearly two dozen fics open in my browser at home that I'm trying to read unsuccessfully because the chapters are too long and I can't finish a single chapter in one go.
