Posting a story./Account page
Once you have logged in using your password and penname, you will be taken to
your account page. From here, you can do the following:-
Add New Story: Choose your category and then fill in
the fields displayed. You can upload your story from a file or write directly
to the box provided. I would recommend that you use notepad or some other text
editor to write and save your story and then cutting and pasteing to the story
box. You may use various codes within your story to produce italics, bold, or
rulers, codes are given beside the story upload box. Once your story is pasted
or uploaded, press the preview button to check it before finally pressing the
submit story button. The story will then be checked for suitability for the
site by one of our validaters and posted, (due to the amount of submissions
received) usually within a few days (Often much quicker). If we do not accept
your story, you will be mailed with a reason for this. We will not be held responsible
if you have not set your mail account to receive mail from us. We will not enter
into any further correspondence if a story is refused.
