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
