What's the max of characters would you allow in your fanfic?
Alfred F. Jones:
I have every intent of covering, or at the very least have my main character meet every single character in the entire series, and since I'm a PC-98 fanatic, you know what that means.
I'm also quite insane and doomed to write for years thanks to this. Do not follow in my footsteps.
nintendonut888:
During the course of my fanfic, I've used about 70% of the cast (including and especially PC-98) at one point or another. But kind of like Ruro, this has been ongoing since mid-2008, so yeah...
beaver1231:
Back to the drawing board based on the comments here. I'll try something that have less characters.

How do you avoid creating characters that look identical in personality?
Or do you just create everything on the spot and you're so brilliant in writing that nothing like this has ever happened?
Also, what is everyone's reaction to crossover fanfics? Spoiler: Yes, I am trying a crossover fanfic, before anyone asks.
nintendonut888:
I'm no fanfic writer, but it's not too hard. Even for PC-98, the characters have a basic shell for personality, so you can develop them however you choose from there. Then again I don't share my story, so for all I know everyone is the same. :P
Sen:
I can't take crossover fics seriously, I'm sorry. :V
