“…The worth of souls is great in the sight of God.” ~Doctrine and Covenants 18:10
Right now I am going to focus on what I can say and do to help and serve others. I will do what I can to help you while I am still able. So I dub myself Big Sister of O. Here you can reach me as a big sister if I am needed and do not find a post that answers question.
***You may leave your questions in the comments for on my first post***
I have recently recieved many questions of posting fanarts here on TheOtaku, so here is the basics of doing such! This can be applied to submitting other works like wallpapers and ecards as well 
STEP 1 : Finding the Submission Page
(presuming you already have your work ready to go and you just need to put it up) You can either go to any Fan Art page (or the page for what kind of work you would like to submit) like clicking on the Fan Art tab or your fan arts or the fan art section of your fav anime etc. then select the link that says "Submit" OR you can go to your backroom, and highlight the "Quick Submit" link on top of the page and click on "Fan Art" or whichever fandom you wish to share.
NOTE ~ If you are submitting a work for a challenge then go to the Challenge you are submitting it for and submit it from there!
STEP 2 : Filling out the Details
{order and fields slightly vary for other works}
TITLE ~ Required ~ It can be simple like the name of the character, or you can make it enticing so subscribers see the title and want to see it ^^
CATEGORY ~ Required ~ Is it from an anime, which one? Crossover? Original? Is it a book/movie/music etc. Choose where it is from, if you cannot find where it is from, then select "Other" Categories are seperated in alphebetical order in Anime/Manga, Video Games, TV, Movies, Books/Comics, Music, Internet, and Personal
"Is this a Fan Character" checkbox ~ Kinda Required ~ Check it if there is an OC (someone you made up for an already existing series) in it or leave it be if all the characters are cannon
TAGS ~ Optional, but very useful ~ Good tags are the characters' names, if it's a crossover then the series they're from, theme or action in the art
CAPTION ~ Optional ~ Describe what is in the work and/or your reflections on the piece or any insights you would like to share with your viewers
MEMBER DEDICATION ~ Optional ~ If you would like to dedicate this to anyone on TheOtaku, make sure their name is spelled correctly or you'll have to do it over again if you put in a user that does not exist. Just leave blank if there is no dedication
UPLOAD WORK ~ Required ~ Hit the browse button and locate the fanwork from your computer
SUBMISSION OPTIONS ~ Kinda Required ~ Default it submits is for publication which means you'll be able to see it on your profile. If it's a sketch or something you are still working on, you may change it to "store as a draft/sketch"
NOTE ~ Other than FanArts, for Fan Comics, you will create a series page first or choose a stand alone. In a series, you chose where the new page is going in Insert Page After. Wallpapers have different sizes that you can submit for one page, the widescreen dimensions are optional, but you must at least have one 4:3 ratio of the Standard size to submit (must be at least 1024x768). E-cards have the same format as the Fan Arts and have a strict size requirement of 350x350. Quizzes are in their own ballpark, so I made a tutorial to help through that.
Step 3 : Submit!
When you are all ready, hit the "Share Your Masterpiece" button. You should get a green Success box to show it went through. If it's red then it did not go through and should point out why it didn't (ie size requirements or not filling out a reqired part of the form)
NOTE ~ New members' submissions go through moderators to make sure you're not posting plagerized or inappropriate stuffs to the sight, so at first it will take about 24 hours to show up. After you have proven yourself to follow the rules for posting, your works will show up imediately after submitting
Hope that helps ^_^ HAPPY FANDOM!
I've seen a number of introductions where people are asking if there is anywhere to post stories here on TheOtaku, so I thought I would write a simple explanation for those wondering. If there are any other questions, feel free to discuss in the comments
You Want to Post a Story~
Basics:
First, you have a World where you can post. {This can be done in your backroom, just hover the mouse over the 'Worlds>>' on the navigation bar, choose the first option, 'Create World' give you're new world a title and submit! More details on creating and maintaining worlds can be disscussed in another helpful post}
Then you post your story on your world so peoples can read. {This can be done by going to 'Post>>' and 'Add Post'} Be sure to choose the "Fiction" post type if you are submitting a story. If you have it as a completed story and would like it to be a fanword, then you may nominate it while posting by clicking the nomination box above the submit button.
Minor Details:
Be Patient. It may take a week or two for it to go through if they make it into a fanword.
Keeping your longer stories to one post~ If you have chapters and/or pages, you may separate them with the break code --> [ BREAK ] <-- take out the spaces between the [ & ]
This is very nice for keeping your pages too long and helps people remember how far they are in your story if they need to take a break in the real world ^.~
Tags and Category are very usefull if you want people to find your story! Be sure to Categorize if your story is based on any anime or if it is original or crossover, because people subscribe to their favorite animes so they will be updated when someone posts about them! Tags are also useful for the obsessed people to find it when they search for writings that concern a specific character or topic.
Q&A:
I hope this was useful, but feel free to ask any more questions as needed! ^o^
Happy Writing!

This World doesn't get to much traffic XD so I thought I'd put up a post here lol Perhaps I should have posted my How to VA here because it's a help article...oh well it's on my Castle's world and under my FanWords (yay I got a Fan Words ^_^ ...hm, I wonder if I can change that...I'll see about that XD EDIT~ I did switch it over ^^ so there it is, a tutorial on my Help World ~End EDIT)
Well I noticed the new application of Chating here on TheO today so I decided to check it out. The weird thing is if you click and go there, you are automatically in, so beware people might greet you while you are still reading the rules and such XD
So anyway, I was able to help someone on there who hasn't been around for since before Vibrant and I helped her around the MyO backroom to edit her profile etc. So that is one question I could answer here if anyone needs any ^^ of course I can help in many other ways too, just say the word
*breaking into song* make a call and I'll be there! Anytime anywhere have you heard? that I'm all about saving your world! All you have to do is, say the word!
*ahem* okay ^_^ Hope you enjoyed. tata 
End
