Hey guys,
I've noticed that you all are very serious about your writing but I'd just like to remind you that your posting your writing on the world wide web, its in a place where people outside the forum can read it, they can even copy it and mark it as their own. Unless your writing has been officially published its not copyrited which means anyone has access to it. Please correct me if im wrong, but this is what i so far understand :3

Yeah I guess, we're all taking a risk putting our stories up.
But its the same thing with anything you put on the internet.
It's good to warn us.
I'm not that serious about publishing, I'm just doing it for fun, but the ones who really aspire to be an author, they should know about this.

Actually, this is a very, very good point. 
I really want to be an author when I grow up, but the stories I plan to publish (if I even end up doing that), I wouldn't post them on here for the exact reason.
