How to Fill in Your Profile on Fanfiction.Net

Last Updated: August 10, 2021

Fanfiction is a website where you can upload your fanfictions for people to see. One of the features of the website is a profile, and it can be really tricky to fill in, even as a pro. Here are some tips to fill in your Fanfiction profile.

Steps

1
Sign up for an account. You can register just on the site or connect your Facebook, Twitter, or Google account. When you have registered, go to the options and to Profile.
- If you do sign up using a Facebook Twitter or Google account, your username for that site will be automatically used. If you don't like it, you can change your username in the settings.
2
First, write something along the lines of 'Hi, I'm [your name]'. If you don't want to put your real name, put down a nickname or even an abbreviation of your user name. You can just put your user name, but it's nice to be a little more personal, because then other writers will feel like they know you a bit better.

Now write a sort of things you are interested in. This can be anything from 'I like basketball, writing, reading, and Pokemon' to 'I am interested in a wide range of things, from swimming to Harry Potter. I also love to write.'
4
The next thing you should say is what you enjoy doing on the site. You can say more than one thing, but here are a few examples:
- I am a writer.
- I read and review stories.
- I love reading Naruto fics.
5
Your profile is the perfect place to write any announcements. If you've written a new story, have abandoned a story, are taking part in a competition, have had a story beta-ed or anything else like that, post it on your profile. Remember to keep this part up to date!
6
You may also like to give a summary of all your stories, but they do appear under the 'my stories' tab, so this isn't compulsory, but it's suggested if you need a longer summary.

Try not to include too many copy and pastes because these can leave your profile looking too long and put people off from reading it by clicking "Hide Biography" and skipping to the stories.
