But isnt that the whole idea of writing? posting where ppl can read it, discuss it and just Post it in general. i'm not choosing any sides but i dont see the big deal. i read the rules and i wouldnt post anything i felt that i couldnt deal with if it came back to bite me.
like i wouldnt post pictures online because ive snatched so many(thats just me, i loveeee viewing everyones photo but i couldnt do it) and its easy and i woudnt want anyone snatching mine (who would want to tho lol? but hey there are some who would like to lol)

maybe im getting off topic lol. i dont know. so please someone put me on the right track lol.. i wouldnt post anything i didnt feel comfy with being shared with the whole interent world :/
Angelic, dear one,

the idea is that the story is YOURS, and should not be held hostage (so to speak) by anyone. Should I turn a short story into a novel and wish to sell it through one of the on-line adult book distributors, that publisher would not wish big pieces of the story out there available somewhere for free, obviously; people would not buy it.

Formerly, such stories would be happily removed by the group owner, with comments on the forum celebrating said author's success. Since the buyout about 4 years ago, the policy is different. Many authors who used to contribute here... and damn good ones... will no longer do so. Sad, IMHO.
