Discussion topic: Minor characters--How many do you include? Do you usually write shippy fic without other people getting in the way of the storyline? Or a cast of thousands where everyone in canon gets a cameo? Something in between? Do you wish you could add more of them smoothly to flesh out the story, or wish you could remove them without losing essential information? Do you feel you've got the right balance between spotlight characters and everyone else, and how do you decide if you've managed that?
