FAQ

What is Headcanon Hub?

A personal tracker for fanfiction. Log every fic by chapter and status, organize your library into shelves, see your reading stats, and follow what your friends are reading.

How do I join?

During this early preview, sign-up is invite-only. If you would like to beta test and give feedback of this early version, contact us.

Is it free? What is Premium?

The core tracker is free. Premium adds a deeper Stats tab (top authors, monthly and year-over-year trends, an activity heatmap, a most-reread leaderboard) and full visual personalization (custom tag colors, custom cover icons, a free-form accent color, community themes).

Which sites can I import from?

Paste a fic's URL and we fetch its details automatically for AO3, FanFiction.net, FictionPress, and several forum sites (SpaceBattles, SufficientVelocity, and QuestionableQuesting). If a site is not supported, you can always add the fic by hand.

Do you need my AO3 login to import?

No. We will never ask for your AO3 password, or the password for any other site. Importing only ever needs a fic's public link. We are not connected to AO3 or any other site, and cannot see your account there.

Can I edit a fic's title, summary, or tags?

Fic records are shared across everyone on the site, so they are not freely editable per person. Use the suggest-an-edit or report option on the fic page to propose a correction for a moderator to review.

How do I track progress and rereads?

Set a status (TBR, Reading, Re-reading, Waiting, Read, or DNF) and your current chapter. Rereads are counted as their own read-throughs, so your stats reflect every time through a fic.

What are shelves?

Custom collections you build to organize your library however you like, beyond the reading statuses. Each shelf can be public or private.

Who can see my reading?

You control it. Your profile, your shelves, and your reading activity each have their own visibility settings, and your log stays private unless you choose to share it. Account details like your email are never shown to other users.

How does NSFW filtering work?

Mature and explicit fics are hidden by default. Turn on "Show NSFW content" in your preferences to include them in search, discovery, and your feed. It is intended for adult users.

Can I change my username?

Yes, from Edit Profile on your profile page or from your account settings. There is a cooldown between changes (currently about six months), so pick one you are happy with.

How do I export or delete my data?

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings, which removes your data. Premium users can also export their full reading log as a CSV from the account page.

I found a bug or have an idea.

If you are signed in, post bugs and feature requests on the Roadmap, where you can see what is already planned. For anything else, see Contact us.
