How Many Characters Is Too Many?

When writing a story-book, how many characters do you feel are too many?

I feel that it depends on the story itself. A lot of character can be a good thing in one story, but a bad thing in a completely different story.

For my own stuff, I find it best to have no more than 3 main-major characters and no more than 5 minor-supporting characters, but one shot-cameo characters can come at will and 20 per story is not unusual.



What's your take on this? I'd love to hear what you have to say about this post. Leave a comment and share your views!
