Fan Score asks: how devoted is this story’s audience? It is a 0–100 number in Writing Studio — not star ratings, and not the Dedication badge next to a commenter’s name.
What blends into it
- Fan Loyalty — do readers stay and finish?
- Fan Strength — when people show up, how hard do they commit?
- Community energy around the story
- Strong-fan share — what portion of readers clear a higher commitment bar
Bands like Emerging or Devoted are friendly labels on that number. Small audiences keep the score soft so a couple of superfans cannot look like a movement yet. Open Reception for the live breakdown.
