RE:
To add a pasta, go to Special:CreatePage, or follow this two-step tutorial. Be sure to switch use source mode when copying and pasting it onto editor to avoid formatting errors. Please also try to format it correctly before publishing (see Help:Formatting) and to only add categories that (A) are on the Genre Listing, (B) are not depreciated or otherwise break any of the category rules, and (C) actually fit the story's themes. (For example, you do not add 'Animals' to a page simply because one of the characters has a pet dog, or 'places' simply because it takes place in, say, a haunted amusement park; it has to be ABOUT those things.)

As for OC/User Submissions, please read the instructions/guidelines provided on the User Submissions page and this site rules page. I also recommend using the by template for your OC pages (just put  in baseball at the bottom of the page). While none of this is necessarily required, it is recommended if you want to mark your pages as your own.
