2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: I would take them off of ET
2005-06-19 [..Gone..]: I have a question. Do you have to have a certain amount of your writinsg done?
2005-06-19 [ArchangelGabriel]: Theres nopoint getitng an account if you've done nothing... Although saying that i have yet to upload much. I'm still working on my stuff...
2005-06-19 [font]: You can become a member and upload one piece of writing, then more later... You can upload writing that you are still writing and mark it as Work In Progress.
2005-06-19 [..Gone..]: Because I only have bits and pieces and chapters...
2005-06-19 [font]: Well you could always upload those and ask for opinions or seek advice in the forums
2005-06-19 [..Gone..]: So basically anyone who has even just a little writings can join?

2005-06-20 [Doormat]: Does poetry count?
2005-06-20 [pixish]: yes :-)
2005-06-26 [Kirikale]: Pertaining to the copyright discussion above, have you ever heard of the poor man's copyright system? Its a cheap way to be able to prove a story or other work is truly yours without paying money for the government to do it. Just print a copy of your work, put it in an envelope, and mail it back to yourself. When you get it, don't open it. The postmark is proof that you wrote it before that time. The optimal time to do this would be before you have put any of it online or showed people, to make sure that nobody can dispute your claim to copyright by saying it was their idea after reading it. Um... did that make sense?
2005-06-26 [Kelaria]: yeah we already talked about that...
2005-06-26 [Kirikale]: Ah, my bad- I didn't see that up there. >_< Don't I feel like an ass now.
2005-06-26 [Kelaria]: aww! you shouldnt! I dont read all the earlier comments sometimes :P
2005-06-26 [Phoxx]: see the URL above, poor man's copyright turns out to be not as effective as thought. It's not proof in court anyway, cause you can mail yourself an empty envelope and put the writing in afterwards and seal it. By the way, what are Berne countries? Cause the copyright rules above are for Berne countries only, and I'm not sure I'm in one...
2005-06-27 [ArchangelGabriel]: Ther berne convention certainly covers most MEDCs, so europe, north america, australia... Intrestingly copyright rules are that 'the book cannot be sold, traded or lent in any binding other than the one in which it was published.' which means it is illegal to sell a book without its cover. Intresting eh?
2005-06-27 [ArchangelGabriel]: Ah, here is a list of countries under the burne convention: http://www.wip
2005-06-27 [font]: A book can't be sold without a cover as this means the publisher or writer will not earn royalties from the sale.
2005-06-27 [pixish]: oooh! Fun Facts!
2005-06-28 [Phoxx]: wow thanx for all digging into it for me! :)
