Thanks, Ill have to check that site out.
The main problem I have is that Im afraid one will steal my story or something to that effect. Chances are if youre putting something up on a site you havent sent it off to a copyright office yet. Sure you may have done that old Mail It To Yourself trick but otherwise you dont have anything official. Chances are you might have just written that chapter of your story sitting around in your room earlier that day, printed it out and put it in the mail box for that mailing Cheap Mans copyright trick but thatll be awhile. Putting it online I fear someone will take it off, tweak a few things and make a story that theyll claim is their own. I feared that with DeviantArt as well and Im just wondering if I have anything to fear, if they copyright it there temporarily since it says stories are copyrighted by their authors or if Im just making this all up. Id figure in a court of law one could use that site and the link to their story as proof its theirs but once everything proceeds and they get, say, a publishing deal, what are the odds that theyd still have that old story uploaded? So there goes their evidence. I dont know, maybe Im overthinking it. But I have alot of stories Ive been working on for many many years Id like feedback on before I try to get them published and I just dont feel like worrying about something as serious as having my ideas stolen.
