    Hi, Ealasaid:

    The number of Author Subscriptions - users subscribed to receive a notification whenever you post or update a story - is listed in the top of the Totals section, right above total number of Kudos. I should note that like on works, it will only show how many subscribers you have, but not who.

      Yes! I know that. I'm sorry, I guess what I should have asked was: is there a way to see who subscribed to you elsewhere, or is that not a thing?

        Hi again!

        Currently, that is not a thing for works, series, or user subscriptions. When the subscriptions were designed, they were only visible to the subscriber - the creator had no idea how many people were subscribed to their works. When we implemented the Statistics page, it was discussed and decided that we wanted to maintain the subscribed users' privacy and ability to freely subscribe to an author's works without risk.

        Best,
