This isnt really advice, just a question, but I'll do what I can. I had a fanfiction account, but I found it uber difficult to use. And the stories are poorly organized and managed, so most likely someone will stumble upon your story if your lucky.
What fan fiction are you writing? I write harry potter fan fiction, and if you do as well, I highly reccomend www.harrypotterfanfiction.com. It has a great search system, a ton of stories, and some really great quality of writing. I just love it for the great users and personalities.
Good luck with your writing! If you ever need a beta for any type of story, drop me a email.

Replying to feedback: I've never seen a gilmore girls fan fiction...do you have any fics I can read? I love the show but never thought about it in writing. Sorry, I dont know much about fanfiction.net [ DearAbby92's advice column | Ask DearAbby92 A Question ]

i have a fictionpress.com account and a fanfiction.net account, and i can promise you-- they look almost exactly the same, at least, in my opinion.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: click on 'Stories' on the left hand side. if it says you haven't agreed to the guidelines and such, click on 'Guidelines,' scroll down and click 'Agree'. Then, it'll send you back to the previous page, this time the font will be green, if it was previously orange.
Click on 'New Story' and it'll send you to a page that says, 'First step: Click to select a category'.
Follow the prompted instructions, by filling in the blanks and such, and once you've set up your story-- then set up each chapter.
Go to 'Documents' on the left side of your screen, then towards the top right, it'll say, 'Docs guide' 'Documents' and 'Edit/Preview'
Click 'Documents'
Scroll down to the bottom, where it says, 'File on Computer:' click 'Browse' and click on your story, then 'Open'.
Then you have to click a 'Document label.' Which is basically so when you're going through your stories and stuff, they're labeled in your fanfiction folders--and such.
just type in the title of your story and the chapter name or number-- that should do the trick.
Then click 'Submit Document.'
Scroll back up-- you'll see where your labeled document is, if you want to edit or preview it, hit 'Edit/Preview.'
