Oh, thanks I guess. But honestly, I have no idea how to do anything.

(That would explain why you watched me! )

Don't worry, it's a bit confusing to start. If you have any questions I'd be more than happy to help. (I'm not sure how much help I can be but I'll try!)

(First off just watch this video, it's funny! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1YWWT…)

Well, if you're talking about how to get more exposure. I only really have one piece of advice, as I don't know what type of posts you will be doing. Titles matter! Tags are good, don't skimp on these either, but titles are what really come up in Google searches. For example, in writing a story try to choose a title that you think people wanting to read your theme will want to look up to find it(I only found this out recently.)

First of all,  lol. That video was hilarious. Second of all, I meant like creating art, mostly literature.

Oh, well, I'm not the best at advice but I'll try.

First off, tags and titles are important.

Furthermore, be certain to make your stories diverse. The more elements of the story that can attract a diverse audience will; so if you have dragons, werewolves, and vampires, then anyone liking and searching for any of the aptly mentioned features will find them in your work and, typically, will be content to read the story as a whole. 

It is self-explanatory, but I need to make this bit apparent: make your story interesting. The general rule of thumb is that you have thirty seconds to get a reader interested; but online that is all the more evident, since you don't just have to get them interested on the first chapter: to keep them reading, you need to get them hooked at the start of every chapter. So don't start with descriptions: start with action, and let the details fill themselves in when it is convenient. Otherwise your audience is bored; and a bored audience is a nonexistent audience.

I also want to leave you with this: find an existing audience. Vore probably isn't your thing, but it is mine, and I have used that to get most of my following. What I'm trying to say is find a band of people with a common interest: dragon fanatics, mythology lovers, sci-fi enthusiasts and gauge their interests to better adapt your story for them and thus 'recruit' them as watchers.

(If you're just writing for fun then the middle paragraph is the most important.)

Also,

For the actual writing, don't have huge text walls. Try to break up the story into smaller pieces when you start a new idea of someone starts speaking, that's generally how I do it. Also, try to keep your stories simple, adding description when it will improve the writing. My most recent submission had a bit too much description so try to avoid that, it was too flowery. (Not always a bad thing, but keeping it simple is better sometimes.) Always look over your work before you submit it, readers will be put off by too many mistakes and keep your tenses in line! I have a problem with this and it gets annoying to read in a story so try to keep track of that. That's all I can think of right now. I hope this helps, this could just be a confusing mess, so if it is then sorry.

Sounds good! I look forward to what you come up with! 

Oh, and get yourself a profile icon. It makes your profile look nicer.

Just click on your character icon, in the top left corner of your profile page, and select "upload image". Then just select an image from your computer, probably download one from the internet beforehand, and crop it and then you're done!
