starleafTopic: Help please! Copyright? I really want to post more stuff on fictionpress... I love writing, and once I actually get off my butt and do it, I want to be able to post it here. But lately, despite my love for the site, I've been feeling the need to take my stuff off... I'm afraid of someone plagiarizing my work.Is there some way to like, copyright on fictionpress or something? I know its a bit out there, but I'm curious. |

Teao GirlEverything on the site is copyright. its called sweat of the brow, and it mans as soon as you have come up with something and written it down, its yours. No forms involved! Look at the bottom of all of the pieces on the site- it has little copyright notice just for anyone who hasn't figured out that stealing is bad! If anything of yours gets properly published, however, I would certainly take it down! Otherwise, why would anyone pay for it... |

Arianna SterlingTeao Girl is right, first of all. And second of all, there's always the 'poor man's copyright'- just seal your work in an envelope, dated, and mail it to yourself. It's legal, honestly. And it protects your work. But yeah- once you get it published, take it down. | #3 May 10th, 12:49pm . Edited May 10th, 12:50pm | |

Teao GirlIf you're going to do the mailing to yourself thing, dont open it when you get it! |
