Welp, I guess long chapter then.

The rewrite of chapter "Unforgotten" is currently standing at roughly 2,600 words and counting, and I still don't consider it finished. This was originally supposed to be one of the final chapters of Part 2, providing plenty of new information to the readers to ease them into new conflicts in Part 3.

And I guess avoiding straight-up infodumping and instead writing it all into the story arc is just gonna balloon the chapter into the longest one yet in the Pony-Me universe.

So I guess long chapter, then.

Nothing wrong with a long chapter. If that is what it takes, then that is what it takes.

2.6K words isn't a long chapter. I once saw a chapter that was 35K. I don't think I've even done 1/3 of that on a single chapter.

Though I’ve put it on hold for the moment, I’m reading a fic with a chapter that’s 97k words in length. I’m torn between looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.

I saw someone put out a literal book on the site about that length. It had chapters but it was all one thing.

That sounds intimidating.

Besides some of the extreme cases being mentioned here, I don't think of a chapter as "long" until around 8k

I was speaking relative to everything else I've written. I used to hover around 300-500 words per chapter on average, and at the moment 1200 is around the average word count of my latest stories.
