Have a good read through the A to Z of acceptable story content before you start writing and familiarise yourself with the rules of the site:

The rest of the Essential Reading forum is an excellent resource for anyone who might not be 100% sure about formatting dialogue correctly or the finer points of punctuation. Even some of the story mods still refer back to these guides from time to time, lol.

Other than that, just have fun
Good luck with your writing!

Saz, be sure to follow the advice Liz laid on you...it's golden.
Just two additional thoughts:
1. Run the story through a grammar/spell checker before submitting. MS Word has those tools.
2. Be sure to read your story - out loud - to yourself. It'll help you catch awkward passages that your eyes might miss.
Best of luck.

Thanks for your tips. Much appreciated.

The grammar/mechanics questions have been answered by those FAR more qualified to do so than I. I can, however, share with you that my first story is by far my most viewed and best liked. The content and detail of your story does not have to seem novice even though it's your first story. Write about your most erotic experience ever (true stories are easier to write, in my opinion) and mentally relive every detail of it as you write it... the writing is half the fun ;)
Happy writing!

As well as the excellent advice above - just make sure that you carry on reading a lot. See which stories you enjoy and that'll tell you what you'll probably end-up writing.
If you've never sat down to write a story before, remember that you don't have to start at the beginning and work to the end. Just write whichever part is in your head at the time.
It is important to jot down ideas as you have them (so that you don't lose them!). I get my best ideas when I'm on the bus - the people I see become characters. You catch snippets of conversations, see the way people are.
The most important thing is to just get on and do it.
