Your Reader Profile
Your profile
This page is yours, and it lives exactly where you are reading: on this device, in this browser. Choose a reader's name, pick a lighthouse for your avatar, and watch your shelves fill as you read. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay — the house keeps your place, not your data.
Said plainly, because this house says things plainly: there is no account and no sign-in yet, so the house cannot see this profile, move it, or restore it. If this device is lost, or this browser's data is cleared, the profile goes with it. Profiles will be able to travel from device to device when the house can sign a reader in by email — that day is not here yet, and this page will say so when it comes.
Nothing on this page leaves your device: no email address, no password, nothing sent anywhere. There is nothing here to leak, and nothing to steal.
Your reader's name
Two to twenty-four characters, no links — the same house rules as the Reading Room, where this name will be offered to you first when you post. It is yours alone: the house never displays it anywhere.
Your lighthouse
Every reader of this house carries a light. Choose yours from the house board — and the tint of its flame.
Your accent
One colour from the house palette, for your card.
Reader
Reader of the house — on this device
Your shelves
Your shelves fill as you read — the site remembers where you stopped, series by series, on this device.
House points
House points live on this device. None have been credited here yet. Points are earned by real reading and by the life of this house — the Reading Room, an error you spot that the house accepts — and they are credited by the house, never bought and never sold. When your first points land, they will appear right here, with the reason and the date.
Clear this device
Remove your profile, your reading places and any house points from this device. It cannot be undone — and it touches nothing anywhere else, because there is nothing anywhere else.
