Don't I know it. :) Have I ever told you that this story was once intended to be much shorter? Liss would have been a framing device, at the beginning and the end, and the rest was to be a sketch of Auron's life focusing on his relationship with Arelle. Then I started writing his interactions with Kinoc and discovered how fascinating they were, and it all snowballed from there....
Ikon has commented elsewhere that the average attention span starts to flag after about four to five thousand words, and I think she's right about that. I would split any chapter that reached the 5k mark.
