Whats the risk?

[naked_lego]

I was wondering what is the risk of posting a story on here? Specifically if I wanted to get it published later or write somewhere else. I guess the only risk is someone could steal it and claim it as their own. But is that it?

All advice welcome :D

If you publish some writing online and then take it to a publisher, it'll more than likely be rejected because it's technically already been published. Of course, that won't happen if you post something and then significantly re-draft/re-work it.

The same can be true for online publishers (e-zines, blogs, and the like), but it depends on the different sites.

Different 'rules' for different publishers/people.
