I'm not sure what the rules are in regards to this, but I do know that you can post as big of a story as you want. As for my personal preference on the matter; I'd say it depends on whether or not you have a good stopping point and some sort of resolution by the time you'd end part 1. If you have some sense of resolution or false resolution, I'd end it there and then brand the other part as a sequel because 12 thousand words is a lot and the size might intimidate potential readers.

I haven't read your story so I don't know if this is viable or not, but you might want to consider trimming it up a bit. There might be some excess that isn't necessary, since it is at 12k. Stephen King uses the following formula: 2nd Draft = 1st Draft - 10% I feel that might be a good idea for you since this is a larger story (unless you've already trimmed it down a bit). However, it's entirely possible that every word you typed is crucial and necessary.

Those are my thoughts on the mater. I'll go look through the rules and see if I can find anything in regards to your situation. Good Luck :)
