A socknography is a fan author biography centered on an individual's history in fandom communities and use of pseudonyms. The concept was proposed by bettsfic in 2019. Below is an example template:[1]
1.introduction (name/alias, age, location, pronouns, occupation)2. accomplishments (degrees, personal history) 3. fan history (fandoms you’ve been in, timeline as a fan, how you were introduced to fandom/fanfiction, what does fandom mean to you – this is where your fan narrative goes) 4. fandom participation (popular fics/posts, involvement in fan events/communities, side blogs, interviews, etc. 3 & 4 might be one and the same for you) 5. spotlight (which of your fics are most important to you/would you like others to read and why? what are the stories behind your favorite fics you’ve written?) 6. find me elsewhere* (links to tumblr, twitter, insta, etc.)
7. policies on fanart, fanfic of fic, podfics, and translations
