I've fantasized about being plagiarized before...
Read my stories!I don't care if someone plagiarizes me, as long as they write the story properly. I just want it in print, not necessarily under my name.
(Which, by the way, means if some concept I discuss on this forum inspires you, feel free to steal it!)
If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.Leradny and Dealan are right; everyone thinks their work is so great that people would want to steal it, but in reality, even if your work is that awesome, it's unlikely people will recognize that. Even if you post sections of it, a section long enough to have context is TL;DR length.
What Worlder might want to worry about is that if you've posted it online it counts as previously published and most print publishers won't accept it.
They say it's the highest form of flattery... And I write more for my ego than my wallet.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.If you delete it and uncache it (before submitting), I suppose they'd have no way to know, unless a lot of people had read it. Here are some guidelines I found.
Craaaaaaaaaaap.
Read my stories!It's a good thing the only major work I posted online is Kira Is Justice, and I'm Retooling that when I get to it. Also, I mostly just talk about my works.
Actual response to the topic: Sometimes I lie. And mostly I just keep talking about it really vague. Being truthy and open about it will only happen when a work's published. And sometimes not even then.
