But it occurs to me that most of your stories only involved a subset of that characters and not always all at once either.
Yes, true. But actually I think the two biggest exceptions to that trend are also my two most recent Buffyverse works: in Thanksgiving with the Burkles, 2019 (from 2019) pretty much the whole point of the story was getting all of the surviving BtVS and AtS alumni together for Thanksgiving dinner, and in Gently Down The Stream (from 2014—my second-most-recent Buffyverse work, because there was a long gap!) I also had quite a few scenes where somewhere between 7 to 10 characters sat down together to try to figure stuff out.
So maybe the conclusion is that I've been getting more interested in ensemble stories as time goes on?
My Once A Thief stories could never have that many characters, because there aren't that many characters in the 'verse!
