Since I am given only 5 minutes to edit (that's new too! It used to be quite a bit more time), I need to add to my post here.

Your publishing of my stories for FREE means nothing to me since I could get PAID for my stories in other sites. I have been asked to submit my stories to sites where the authors get paid for their work. I have chosen not to do so for personal reasons but mainly because it is a risky venture for me to get paid for these stories given the nature of my other published work. I would rather keep my stories to myself and a select group of like-minded readers rather than have them taken over by someone else. Rethink your policy or you will lose a lot of authors who can publish elsewhere for FREE or for PAY.
