okay see....i would love to post my writings up..but the thing is, people steal people's writings and claim it as their own. and that really pisses me off because i put my damn heart and emotions into it and someone just takes it and passes it off as theirs without even crediting me? i've seen this happen before..and i don';t want to risk it.
so..aren't you all sort of afraid of that? or maybe i'm just thinking too much?? |

I hate when that happens. you can sue them i think for plagerism [sp] if they steal it and claim it their own.

i agree with ryfitaDF; i'd rather let people take my work and claim it as their own than be the only one who reads it.
still, it's irritating to have people steal what you work so hard on. |
