A way to see which users gave a chapter 'likes'

    Like a little indicator on the sidebar that could be pressed for a list of users that currently 'Like' a chapter.

    The value is both for the author:

    To see where their likes came from without scrolling back a bazillion notifications, offering the ability to connect with their readers even after time has passed, see if they have consistent followers, and identify readers (and authors) that have similar interests to them as part of their searching options.

    And also the reader:

    - To identify and connect with other readers who have similar interests, or just to lurk and follow, seeing what they have liked recently, allowing another way to search for stories that they might like.

    Obviously if this were to be implemented there should be an option for users to opt out or hide their identity.

    I don't know if I worded any of that well, but hopefully it makes sense. Hopefully too it hasn't been formally suggested before.

    Just a thought.

    Definitely a nice thing for the author.

    Though I'm not completely sure about if everyone should be able to see the list as I'm not sure if everybody should see what I have liked. (Of course, you can already see that information in the "Recent Activity" list. Also opting out would be an option if it can be implemented easily.)

    As an author of some nasty stuff, I have a seriously deflated sense of privacy as far as my likes go under this username.

    But I understand why everyone might not feel the same.
