2005-06-18 [..Gone..]: Cool :)
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: I have a question... I was wondering if, when you join writersco, you can make it so that only members can view your stories/poems. is that possible?
2005-06-19 [Erestor]: I don't think it is yet, although you'll have to ask [font] for a defienent answer.
2005-06-19 [ArchangelGabriel]: I think it can be done... Orr you can make it so only a private forum can see them.
2005-06-19 [Erestor]: However that means that you won't get many comments as only some people will know about.
2005-06-19 [font]: Why want to be a writer in a community if you dont want to share your writing? If you want to keep it to yourself write it on paper and lock it away. ;)
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: Well I want to share it with the trusted members of writersco, but I dont want it all over the internet. After reading about all the different kinds of theafts that have happened I'm not sure I want my stuff to be able to be accessed by everyone...
2005-06-19 [font]: Then you would never want to be published? Post or email yourself a dated copy of your work and dont open it, that will be your prove of copyright.
2005-06-19 [ArchangelGabriel]: You can't prove it lkike that though. Yoiu can always unread an email and in some cases redate it... Shouldn't a copy be sent to some body or another? I'm sure theres some where were they validate copyright
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: Published is different. Once published it's copyrighted. No chance of my stuff being stolen without proof that it was and severe consequences.
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: Thing is, most of my stuff isnt finished... so even if it's not, would the mailing copyright still work on an unfinished copy of a story?
2005-06-19 [Ocean Dreaming]: Just slightly wrong, [Kelaria]. Once you've written something it's copyrighted. Doesn't matter whether you publish it or not - you have copyright. The only way you'll keep your work absolutely safe is by never ever publishing it anywhere. Proving you do own the copyright to literary works is difficult. Try reading this page http://www.sfw
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: Proof of copyright is what I'm worried about.... *goes to the link*
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: So really, there's nothing I can do. If someone else takes my work and claims it as theirs (with the copyright symbol) all I can do is HOPE that people believe me?
2005-06-19 [Erestor]: Alt + 696 on windows. © use it and hope.
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: *cries and clings to her precious stories*
2005-06-19 [ArchangelGabriel]: I'm still sure there must be body where you can get coies catalouged incase. I must say i'm curious to see some of your work. It must be very good for you to guard it so jelausly(sp) ^^
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: and it's not that it's good (I guess you can be the judge of that) It's that my work is part of my soul. Everything I write comes from deep inside me and ends up having a life of its own...
2005-06-19 [Kelaria]: it would really hurt for someone else to get credit for my work...
2005-06-19 [font]: You have stories uploaded on EW... and anyone can read those, so what is the difference if you upload them to WritersCo
