\n \t* What the minimum size for an ensemble? Is there a perfect length?
\n \t* Can you put\xa0a traitor into an ensemble story?
\n \t* How do I give my ensemble characters equal emotional weight if I only tell the story from a single POV?
\n \t* How do you introduce your ensemble without infodumping?
\n \t* If an ensemble is about falling in love with a group of friends, how does killing a character work?
