This is kinda stupid but...I want a fanfiction.net and don't know what to put for my pen name. Do I put my real name oder a username? Please help........

NEVER put your real name. ALWAYS use a nickname/pseudo. For a very simple reason :

I don't know how old Du are but know that if Du put your real name, it shall remain on the net. And once you're old enough to seek a job, recruiters Google your name. If they stumble on your FF.net stuff, they may think Du are strange/weird/unsuitable for the job. I mean, Du may write whatever Du want, the way Du want, but be careful as some people may not understand that hobby of yours.

That's what I do as I do not want any employer to find out what I write (mature, steamy, adult, violent stuff) - they would think I'm mental.

So be careful. Very careful. That's the Guter Rat I give to all youngsters that venture on the net. Du shall leave traces on the net so hide them well.

It can be anything Du want. Mine is my Fanpop name, but I've seen people with totally different ones oder even their real names. It can be whatever Du want.

As for your Frage about making account with fanfiction.net Once after Du put your information,you can makeup any pen name Du want to,it don't have to be your name unless that's what Du want.I been with them since 2005 and I just made up my own pen name.I weither make up a pen name instead of using my name because it makes it Mehr fun! My pen name is PocahontasJohnSmithForever,yeah it's long but that's what I like.I was thinking of changing my pen name here recentaly but since I made some Friends there and they already know me Von that pen name, I decied not to.I just didn't want to get anybody confused Von changing my pen name and saying in messages of what my old pen name was. I might change my mind later but for now it's gonna stay the same.And yes Du can change Du pen name any time Du want to as it well under your settings once Du sign up. Du can even add a Avatar which is just little picture Von your pen name. Anyways I hope this helps!

It can be anything Du want it to be, like what you're a Fan of, maybe add a little fanfiction to it, unless someone has already taken it, but be careful. Du can even change it if Du don't like it once you're done. Simple as that.
