Good question. I look at people’s profiles to see if they have a tumblr, especially if I’ve made a graphic or photo manipulation inspired by their fic and I want to show them. From my (admittedly limited) experience, a lot of people don’t use their profiles. It’s a shame really.
It’s also a good place to post a blanket permission so that people know that you’re comfortable if they want to make fanart based on your fic or turn your fic into a podfic (think audiobook, if you’re not familiar). Or to tell people that you don’t give permission for that, if you’d rather.
What about the rest of you? Do you look at profiles? Do you use your own?
