Missed the survey but was curious to find out what number you and your respondents had come up with.

I do not think I have a fixed view – depends on length, complexity, is it a voice piece or a plot story etc etc. But if going for 2500 words I would say more than 3 main characters would be pushing it, though there could be minors…

Anyway where is your bottom line number and does it have a recurring decimal?

x Lane
