from JAK's post: "PS - As for what Kessie said, I have never heard of something like that in the states. I posted the short story I had published on the net before it being published and I didn't run into any problems, but you might want to look into that."
I once was a literary agent, and am the author of 5 published romance novels (no I won't tell which ones), and have negotiated publishing contracts with every major house in the US.
Everywhere in the world that subscribes to the Bern Convention uses the same rule: "You made it, you own it." Your assertion of ownership is implicit in your claim of authorship, and anyone who wants to disprove your claim has to do so legally.
PUBLISHING something is different from owning it. You are publishing this material by posting it on this website. Nowhere does that give anyone any right to use or reproduce your work wirhout your written permission.
BTW I agree with every single critique JAK gave. I hope you receive them as helpful!

Thanks for the concern sweetie. I think I may delete the post now that some people have read it.
When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.

Ooh thanks, hope I didn't keep you up.
Thanks for your comments, useful stuff you got there. If you'd like to read more then I can email you the whole chapter, no pressure though if you aren't interested. Just let me know.
Thanks again.
