another month at SF Novelists

Man, I'm having a much harder time remembering to think up topics for my SF Novelists posts (and get them written on time) now that I've stopped doing the "writing women" series. Anyway, this month I muse on ensemble casts, and why I like them.

As usual, comment over there; no reg required, though if you're a first-time commenter I'll have to fish it out of the moderation queue.
