My characters should be easy to read. At least for people who know their real versions. All my characters are inspired on friends excluding myself and my house pet cat) I don't know if it's a good thing or bad to know your characters or not ^^'
I have only one friend irl who is reading my series. Actually, she's also helping me from time to time with preparing margins and frames. And the last time she was helping me, she said that she really likes one of my characters. While pointing at another one. So I'm not sure if she meant it XD
I've convinced a few of my friends to read my comic, but most of them are silent readers apart from the occasional "Oh, I really liked your last page, by the way!"
I have one friend who does get excited ("HE'S CUTE!", "Those eyebrows though!!") but I don't know if that's just because she gets excited about a lot of things or that she actually does have a particular interest in them. :') I get pretty excited by them though, so that's good enough for me. B)
My friends who have read my comic, really love to Telmo because of his personality, and I have a friend who has a love-hate for my other character Hiroto. But for the main, none has said a word yet xD
My readers haven't said anything about anything anyway, I hope in the future to see that though xD
I've only shown one IRL friend my comic so far but she really likes my oc Soph and has commented on what lines of her's she likes the most so far. I have quite a few online friends tho who always make comments when the pages go up. The general consensus is that they like Howie and are EXTREMELY worried for him haha. I have one friend who always calls him"the marshmallow" which i find endearing as heck.
well, all my RL guy fans are obsessed with my OC, Laurena (in profile pic)
they've said its because of her personality and such (which is literally mine) but im pretty sure its the boobs
my RL fans with demented minds all LOVE Alice and Alucard (yes as in Wonderland girl and Hellsing cough cough Abridged preferably cough character)
because of the fact that they take blood, guts, gore, S&M, and sh*t like that to INSANE levels (puns intended)
however, my biggest RL fan (besides my boo) which is my bestie, is absolutely OBSESSED with my character Usachan (yeah yeah, I know, Ouran High School Host Club. YES. THAT Usachan, but as a human(ish) and waaaaaay sexier)
every time I see her she ALWAYS (literally. ALWAYS) asks "how's Usachan? Got any updates on him? Got any artworks made of him?" etc etc
she's even in denial of her obsession with him o.O
A few years ago when I first started being interested in comics, I lived four hours away from my best friend and the separation actually helped because I felt disconnected enough to share a lot of my stories and characters with her. It was the first time I'd ever really shown anyone my art or characters, and she was the best. She basically became obsessed with a platonic couple in the story and would send me fanart and playlists and headcanons and all that stuff. She made me a "Lucky and Colette" appreciation calendar one year for Christmas. Her love for them made me so happy and excited about my work that I've since become much more open about my creations.
Pronouns and boobs will save you 
Sekhmet likes strong and bright women, preferably older, but not that much older. My friend is not very strong and is certainly too old for Sekhmet's tastes (she's almost 30 years older than Sekhmet).
My readers have a habit of being really enamored of characters who are minor. The hapless bandits, for example, or Lady Watanabe - who is not going to turn up again until, like, 200 pages from now. o.O I guess it's a good thing they like the main cast too, but still.
I think Ephelia is an interesting main character and I enjoy reading Wingless even after those 10 seconds (and I needed longer reading your comic haha).
I think there is nothing quit as uplifting as people getting invested in your characters. I got some really positive replies from people especially regarding the two female leads in Strayer and as the readership grows people really start to analyze their actions which is also really nice.
But other times people tend to get pretty ugly. Two of the five main characters of Strayer are fat/chubby and people somehow expect that to change over the course of the story, which can be pretty disheartening. I´m glad that´s not the majority of readers though.
I'm actually the fangirl of my RL friend's character. He's such an adorable little sweetie and I can go on and on about how cute of a character he is! X w X
She did! And over the years she had cried many times whenever I talked about any AU involving any form of death (death due to old age would be number 1 on the list of tearjerkers). We've known each other for 4 years now and I made her cried last week talking about my OC's death and how she became a ghost in my current comic haha
I have one fan for Two Faced
She's inlove with one of the characters called Aracen, We even did a canon RP and she did fanarts of the characters
woah dang i wish i had fans like this. i HAD a friend who was a fan of a character in a ooold comic that i dropped (but i wanna get back to it when im good enough to pull it off)
i dont got any newish pictures of the character. just old cruddy ones. but her name was sesshia and my friend was really into her and it made me pretty happy. she printed out pictures of her and put them on her school folder and quoted her when we were talkin. i drew her in the school paper once and when i first met my friend the class was playin hangman and her word was sesshia. kinda sucked for everyone else who had noooo idea who my character was haha. but thats their fault for not readin my tiny comic in the boring newspaper that one time
Omg. hahhaa. Actually all of my friend go NUTS over Thomas and Rick from my comic Confessions
I mean that was one of the main reasons I started to do more background on them. They originally are from my main plot line where they are just my main characters dads (so they were secondary) but everyone kept asking me MORE and MORE about them. So I started to do background on them. I won't go into spoilers for anyone but I did something in the main story (Not confessions) that pissed my friend off so much she started crying. She was no happy with me. HAHHAAHA.
But as for fans, I'm getting a pretty good following and they always feel sorry for Ricky-doodles. lol. And even though Thomas can act like douche sometimes they still seem pretty interested in why he does the things he does. It's cool.
my sister is my biggest fan, and i am her fans as well of each others work, i think her favorite character of mines is April from my Maximum Chaos series we are working on together, i designed the characters but we are making the story together 
i also have a few friends on deviantART that loves my Yuuki Aoi Pin-up girl, I am working on sending them commissions and birthday gifts very soon to thanks them for the lovely support! they both are very kind-hearted people and i really want them to know how much they mean to me.
