Sooo... I'm doing my proofreading for chapter 4 of The Cult of the Crimson Isles, and it occurs to me I'm kinda bad about making certain dialogue-heavy scenes a bit... overlong, perhaps? @_@; As it sits now, I'm about halfway through proofreading it, and it's sitting at 8.5k+ words, and at least half of that is one long chat between two characters. I'm a bit self-conscious about that. 

Not that it's not meaningful conversation, because it is (IMO anyway), but I worry if I should try to break it up more by cutting away to other scenes or something. Of course that would also contribute even more to the fact that these episodes keep turning out way longer than originally planned... but maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing? 

In any case, while I'm looking to see if there's any bits I can do without or save for later, let me know what you think. (For the whole, what, two people that read my stuff? xD) Should I try and trim down long dialogue scenes or are they fine so far?
