Until today, I had four fan fictions, two with zero followers and two with one follower each. Suddenly my fan fictions have 8, 19, 29, and 43 followers, and I never got any notifications.
I think it must be a glitch because some of these followers haven't visited India Forums in over a week. I suspect that everyone who ever gave a reaction on a story in the show's forum, before I migrated it to the Fan Fiction section, has suddenly been turned into a follower of that story.
My fan fiction Library was empty until today, but suddenly it includes my own two fan fictions where I replied to a comment, and another author's fan fiction where I wrote a comment. That author blocked me for pointing out that she used an expression that is a racial slur, so I would never intentionally follow her. Other fan fictions on which I wrote comments haven't been added to my library.
On January 30, I got a notification that vijay left a Like on my chapter. When I checked, that chapter suddenly had 18 more Likes than before (5 NICE and 13 more AWESOME!), but I only got one notification about vijay. I sent a PM to vijay mentioning this right away, but it looks like he never opened it. Neither vijay nor the contest judge who stopped by to give a FAIL on that chapter has been turned into a follower. I also didn't get a notification when someone gave a FAIL on my prompt acknowledgement for the story.
