You need to rethink your policy of keeping the right to retain the author's work on your site or you will soon loose any decent author that you have submitting his/her work and consequently loose viewers and advertisers.

I too am a published author---and have been paid for some of my stories---But I did not sell my copyright to the stories as I am free to post them anywhere I please---most of my stories have nothing to do with BDSM-so they will not be published here but a few do---

So you are telling me if you submit a story to a publisher ----he decides to publish it ---paid you or not---then you have the right to tell that publisher you have changed your mind---and want to publish it elsewhere.

I do not think it works quite that way---Once it is published any publisher retains certain rights to the story--Do you not think of this site as a publisher

I do not get where you are coming from---but then again like I said --not my site nor my policy---I have yet to hear from either the orginal poster of the thread or from Tiger on his answer.

So before we jump the gun get all riled up over nothing --why do we not wait and see what the outcome of the request is first
