I think I tend to prefer smaller groups and one-on-ones, as I do get easily overwhelmed by larger events. That and I tend to be very shy around folks I'm not very familiar with. :S
As for styles... I find the little moments between characters to be the most rewarding. Big stories are great and all and I do like having a "plot" I suppose but I take the most delight out of relationships, be they positive or negative, and perspectives between characters. I think the general theme between both of my characters is "just trying to get by" and while it means different things to each (Jajara preening herself into a craftsman, Delial struggling to balance her old life against her new), exploring how they perceive and get on (or not!) with others has been immensely satisfying to me at least.
