I've been learning the ropes as well recently. It can be pretty intimidating the first time you try to post something, but as long as you read the rules beforehand and know what's not allowed, you won't have any problems. As long as you're coming up with original ideas and know how to format a story so that it's readable and not a wall of text, your pastas will pass the quality standards test every time. Oh, and when you're tagging your pastas, make sure you use one of the preexisting categories, don't make up your own (I made this mistake).

Good luck out there!
