Indeedily do.
Started the ad campaign ranked 193rd, currently ranked 75th.
Oh, incidently, Toxic. I miscalculated your previous rank. You were ranked 512th not 812th (I wrote down page 8 #12 which would put you at 512 in rank, but for some reason I read it as 812 when I first reported your stats) when you started your ad period. Don't worry though, you still have the record for the biggest jump. You're currently ranked 136th meaning you've jumped 376 ranks since starting your advertisement. Beating by a longshot the previous jump records of 132 ranks shared by Zeera the Pirate, Vlad Damien, and Hejhox. With 5 days left it looks like JP would have beat that jump record too if not for Toxic's mighty leap.
And another happy thing is that my porn page and my fanart page are now my highest exit pages... which hopefully means that those browsing through are also browsing through my contributors as well.
I still have on my HD the first feedback from a reader I ever got (I saved every other I got before that too). I got it on the very month my comic started, which was pretty awesome.
I think I'm really lucky on this department, come to think of it. From the encouragement letters, cool gift arts and significant amount of people linking me, you guys are way too good. I don't deserve it
I've still got my first letter from a reader too. It's nothing exciting, just a "Hey, your comic is funny" kind of thing, but it's like a store keeping the first dollar they make. It's cool to have it.

Or that people come for porn, get it and go away. I just love miserabling people
My first fan... -Stares blankly at screen-
Fan... Hmm... I don't understand. People are supposed to READ my comic? -Puts on his pity face-
Will someone be my fan? I will give them a big hug and perhaps even bake them some cookies!
You know you like cookies!
Don't worry. From your comic, I can tell than getting some fans is a matter of time.

Then give it back.
Funny enough, I don't remeber my first fan mail. I think it was some disguised plug, which might be why I didn't remember it. Anyway, the ones I got later ment much more, consiodering who sent them.
My first fan was this worker at a Burger King who saw me drawing some comics before they were even put online and he was all "yous all doodlin? Sheeeeeeeit."
Strangely enough, I got several comments of people who were working in fast food restaurant who said that I really captured the essence of working there or something like that. Some even assumed that I was myself working in one. I think everyone who ready mcDuffies knows why this is funny.
Oh...by first fan you mean the first person to actually link to your site...hmm...bugger...don't think I've got one of them yet...at least...if I do, they've managed to keep it quiet...
Do have two replies in the forum though...but two replies do not a forum make
Remember when your imagination was real? When the day seemed
longer than it was, and tomorrow was always another game away?

Believe me, nobody was more shocked to discover my comic has such a huge female fanbase as I was.
It certainly put an end to the myths in my mind at least that girls don't like naughty jokes, hentai, or tentacled beasties.
One of the fringe benefits of doing a comic like mine is I get a whole lot of e-mail from female readers who tell me not only that they like hentai and tentacled beasties but who will then tell me in great detail their own personal sexual fantasies involving being roughly taken by tentacled monsters.

I have to start a webcomic about girls being roughly taken by mild-mannered science students. That seems like the only responsible course of action open to me.
