Yes! :) - I've just found it out from a book written Many Years Ago ( long before I, & most of you Joined Wattpad! - So I should thank the User who wrote it: I wouldn't know it any other way!  ^_~ ). 

In the Early Stage of Wattpad - Everyone who followed you was called a 'Fan'

- but I think it's more logical that they changed it into 'followers' - like In ALL SOCIAL MEDIA! :) 

Because Not ALL Followers we have are 'automatically' Fans... - But luckily for Me - Most of MINE ARE! 😁😁😁👍
