Ed Ireland asked Will Macmillan Jones:

What quality makes a character your most loved character?

Will Macmillan Jones Again, as with Chloe below Ed, apologies for the delay as I've not been around too much for 10 days or so.

To be loved by readers, a character - good or bad- has to be empathetic and sympathetic. I'm presently writing a piece in which I have a character who has, for me, the biggest fault in the world - racism- and I'm trying to make the other sides of him attractive so that the readers will want him to change, so that they can like him properly.
