If you want to become an LT author, you must first find your author page. You can get there most easily from the work page of one of the books you have weitten.

Make sure that the page really refers to just you. If your books are mixed with the books of another author with the same name, you will need to do an author division to get a page that is just you.

Now scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, click on "Is this you?".

If you are reading something that talks about Profile Comments it is very old and out of date.

>1 wykittens: The term "profile comment" is an outdated one. It refers to messages which members could send one another, by posting on the recipient's profile page. We moved to a private message system a while back. We will change that wording, in various places around the site, so the meaning is clearer.
