story naming convention

Just look at today's new stories. You will find all sorts of things. Even something obvious like multiple chapters of a story, you find people doing all sorts of things:

My Story Ch. 3
My Story Pt. 3
Ch. 3 My Next Episode
3 My Next Episode
My Story Ch. 3 Its Subtitle

Punctuation?
"What a Big Cock!"
 
Are there rules for story names and if so where might the rules be found?
No rules.

If you write chaptered stories, title them like this:

Story Title
Story Title Ch. 02
Story Title Ch. 03

and the site will automatically join them together.

Or this:

Story Title - Annie
Story Title - Betty
Story Title - Charlie

The auto-sort mechanism uses an alphanumeric sort sequence, and will generate once the second chapter is posted.

You don't need to use Ch. 01, but you can. I've got one hopelessly optimistic story where I wrote the first chapter, but never got around to the second. If you're going to do that, make sure the first part stands alone, is complete so far as it goes.

Don't write more than 99 chapters for all our sakes, but if you do, make sure the first chapter is 001, otherwise when you get to 100, it will fuck up.

Alternatively, if your titles are random, you can use the Manual Series function to arrange them.

Check my portfolio for different examples - I use both methods.
