Maybe as one subpage? Some pages for hosting sites use this format. Also what is Neopets.Tropes Plots And Events?

Neopets is a weird website filled with lore and "plots". But that's a different issue for a different time and a different place.

IDK if I'd call it a "hosting site" though since the fiction is relegated to one part of the site and is only hosted if the staff decides to add someone's submission to the newsletter. They have weirdly strict rules about things that can be in the stories (such as every character needing to be a neopet and pets not having access to technology like cellphones), too. But at the end of the day, the site isn't made for fiction writing and I don't think there's anywhere else where these stories are allowed, except maybe on places like the caption contest or some RP guilds.

Maybe make a Neopets.Neopia Times Tropes page? I haven't seriously played Neopets in over a decade but I agree that it's not really a hosting site since the stories are part of the site's newletter.

That's sort of like what Amonimus suggested above. I guess it could work if splitting the individual works off doesn't (and given the nature of the stories, they're all a bit too Neopets-based to be split off without a lot of explanation).

... Fanfic for text-based stories, maybe? Yadda Yadda is a multi-part piece of fiction hosted by Neopets on its Neopian Times newsletter...

I remember getting some comics accepted and shared there. The things players submit are not canon to actual site storylines/locations, and the rules they have are kind of what's allowed in the setting of your fanwork. Like, in this fantasy land, you can't have laptops.

This is more of the Troping user-generated content quandry, as everything in the Neopia Times qualifies for Official Fan-Submitted Content. For this situation specifically, I'd say the most convenient thing to do is to make a Show Within a Show page for the newsletter itself, and trope the content with that article.
