What's the max of characters would you allow in your fanfic?
beaver1231:
Just a curious question. I'm trying to write a fanfic but I'm afraid that there would be too many characters to handle. The entire cast is involved. Including Rinnosuke, Akyu.
Spoiler: Except most of the PC-98 cast.
Drake:
At a time, 6. Through a section of setting, 10. And through the entire thing, maybe 20.
But if anyone could pull all the characters off without sounding like a total idiot or it being incredibly long I would be impressed.
Benny1:
I have written fanfics with the full intention of including every single touhou character in the windows games.
My fanfics are a little different than the average fanfic, though.
Bias Bus:
If by characters you mean main characters of said fanfic then I'd say at least 7 or so. Otherwise, I try to include any number of Touhous in a story, but those who aren't involved in the story directly will usually just be secondary or background characters at best.
Gpop:
Well, I don't plan to use many characters in my fic. It'll only inlcude a crew and some from a PC-98 game.
Just focus more on the story then trying to include so many characters that won't even be significant to the story whatsoever, especially if it's your first.
