Well, with more characters there's more interaction. Also, it's much harder to become sick of a character. Though I don't think you need to worry about that.
With more ppl there's more opinions so there's more conflict. Also there can be possible likes/dislikes, even romance. Tho that has a tendency to overly complicate things sometime. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Two characters is good, because you get to know them really well, but it's nice if there's other people to keep track of, or at least that's the way I feel about it. Like in my book, I've got... um... 7 characters so far, but they haven't met up yet, and later they'll split up making a couple of groups of 2 or so. So I'll have interaction between characters (humans vs elves vs dwarves, throw in some class differences, etc) but then I'll split them up so the reader can get to really know them. I'm rambling, sorry. I'd say look to the master, as usual. Tolkien started with a few characters, added some on, then split them up. Worked well for him. Hope you can find a little sense in all that. I'm glad to (try and) help. Feel free to email me (davidone_2000@msn.com) if there's anything I can help with. What are you stuck on exactly? It seems to be going great so far.
