I too would love to get published someday, but I'm sure some people write with no intention of (or real desire to) get published. I don't really see it as very different from forming a garage band just to have some fun.
And then, as the books were told, Fina replied: "A can of worms, my dear friend? What has this to do with reason?"

Isn't the "fun" publication of writing what sites like blogspot, xanga, etc. are for?

 I have to leave this topic. People who want to get published just because it's...fun... really hurt my head. It's so damn hard to get published, you don't even know, and so if someone gets published who just does it for "fun"? How does that make the rest of us feel? I understand your publishing way isn't real publishing; I understand that. But... I can't stand it, still.

Why I italicized I was for the simple fact that I don't want to represent this forum. Just to clarify. Your stories.. I guess it's alright if you do them for fun. But it's sort of like telling a college math student, oh, I just add and subtract for fun; I don't want to go anywhere with it...

Not the forum layout, the forum itself. Sorry, but... Forums aren't the best place to post serious writings. Golden, lots of people do that. If you actually care about what you write and want to excell in that field or Art, you have to care if people steal your work. It's real, and it happens. Oi. Trust me. Also, it looks like you're the only one there. Why not join an established writing community to learn how to write, and to get better? Where feedback is almost always guaranteed? ..Honestly, Golden, if you type like that...how are you going to publish your writings?

Because it does not grant people copyright to their own work.

I have a better website for stories. That are actually copywritten, and not in a forum layout ( which just blows all credibility out of the window ): Storywrite

Calling those things "stories" is a little generous.
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. Frederick Douglass
