As beautifully simplistic as germany's answer is, I decided to elaborate.

In case you were wondering WHY her answer was a curt, and clear "No," let me explain what's happened to clubs users have made in the past...

Nothing.

Generally speaking, the spots get made, and maybe the user can convince a handful of other users to join, and then the spot is never updated except, perhaps, by the person who made it.

Also, consider the message you would be sending to fans who DON'T know you if you made a spot about yourself. You already have a profile and a page where people can be a fan of you. Making a spot about yourself can often be seen by the greater population as conceited, silly, immature, pointless, egocentric, and/or uninteresting.

Less is often more... If you want people to really get to know you, don't tell them everything up front. Make yourself a mystery, and people will delight in figuring you out.

You CAN make a spot/club about yourself... But just consider the repercussions of such an action that I mentioned.

Nice elaboration! My interpretation of Fanpop is that Fanpop spots are not intented to be personal blogs. Fanpop if for sharing our love for the things we are most obsessed with, with other like-minded people. People creating their own personal spots and treating them as blogs makes Fanpop just like any other crappy site out their on which people promote themselves.

How is a single, one-word sentence (not even a profanity!) mean? She wasn't making a judgment about the user, just giving her opinion on whether or not she should make a spot. Germs' response has nothing to do with the user asking the question. I reckon she'd give the same answer to ANYONE asking if she should make a spot about herself.

Well, I dont think 'No' is mean. Maybe (like x-missmckna-x said) she should have expained but I dont think the term you were looking for, loeed, was 'mean'... In my POV.

I must say that I DO agree with most of the users here who have said no. Logically looking at it, if a user creates a spot for him/herself it DOES come across as conceited,aggrogant and shameless. That's a fact! The intent might not be to advertise or boast about yourself, but it will be viewed that way by most of the users.
NOW, before anyone who reads these comments by me comes on here and calls me a hypocrite and a two-faced witch...
I do have a spot BUT it was NOT created by me. The young user did it as a way of showing her appreciation to me (long story!) and although I realize if was made out of kindness and gratitude, I AM embarassed to have a spot on the 'pop.

Well, I agree with Cinders.. in one way. But here are some questions:

Do you write things about yourself? Do you write stories? What are you going to do at your spot?
What do you want people to know about you and want to join your spot?

If you want to make your own spot, go ahead. But it's just about your life and yourself, I don't think people will be interested....

Another thing: If you have a VERY good reputation on fanpop and is known to do something in particular, I suggest you to make your own spot, and post the things there. That's what I did. I post fanfictions, and research news and post them a lot on fanpop. I made my own spot, and it works out just fine! ^_^
