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 pasting 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.
