posting on multiple sites

Yes, I do. What you have granted to Literotica is nonexclusive use rights, which means you give permission for them to publish and retain full rights to do anything else with it that you want to do. Most other story sites will have the same.

am i allowed to post my story on additional sites beyond lit
The stories I posted on Lit have traveled down from motorcycle site to site as each faded and died. Many ended up on another porn site which I don't really care for because of their membership interests.
However a few civilized members mentioned Literotica. So I brought our old stories and others here to pretend I'm a story teller.

Hw long Literotica or even the internet lasts is anyone's guess. I'm not so sure preserving my stories really matters. Nothing is forever.
 
Yes. I post on two others and can mention Lit on them if I need, which is the opposite here.
Honestly I am toying with pulling out of here.
 
Apart from my posting my own stories on selected sites, some stories get stolen and appear almost anywhere, even Google translated into various languages.
 
So you see Ogg, you ARE popular.

I'm not sure about the 'popular'. Many sites just steal the first page of a story, presumably to provide content.

I think I'm stolen more than some just because I've been writing for fifteen years and have so many posted stories.

They even steal the story and leave the "copyright oggbashan" in the heading...

But why would a bot-infested Japanese Anal Fisting Teenager site want MY stories?

Rotflmao. Is there really a site like that? I mean, the hairy armpits one had me in convulsions. But Japanese teenager anal fisting? I'm sadly under exposed to these nuances of the erotic and pornographic marketplace.

Please do. Your trash doesn't belong on Lit.
 
I'm up to ten sites that I post my stories to.

Well, one of those only has some of it because their rules are even more restrictive than Lit's.

Some of them are general-fiction sites that allow erotica, rather than being an entirely erotica-focused site.

One of them is just tumblr.
 
I post on several sites, as does my friend Jehoram, whom I usually edit for.

He put this comment on another thread:

It does bring up another thought for us who submit stories to multiple sites, though. I'm thinking of making very small revisions to the stories I post on different sites, so that if the work gets stolen, we can identify which site it was stolen from. (Things like "He fell with a thud" on one site, and "He fell with a thump" on another, for example.)

I hadn't really thought of that. So far, I haven't been the victim of plagiarism (touch wood), but putting in "copyright traps" might not be a bad idea.

Other than that complication, I see no problem in posting stories in different venues. It's certainly allowed by the rules, and gives me an outlet for stories with subject matter that this site can't accommodate.
 
And, having put all that work into everything you've written, what do you expect to happen from knowing what site a specific story was stolen from? Chances of getting anyone to care are slight and for them to do anything about it even slighter--and then only until the next time it happens.

Well, I can't answer for Athalia, but I'm assuming that you're responding to my quote, so I can certainly answer for me.

The answer is: I don't expect much. I assume that Laurel might be interested in knowing how her site was being mined and her authors being cheated of their recognition. But I thankfully haven't had any real experience with the theft problem (probably because my stuff isn't good enough). There have been posts from authors here saying that the appeals process has worked for them, particularly regarding Amazon, which is a big enough target to be sensitive to public relations.
 
No, I was responding to that variation work and (false--in the United States) copyright buried tags in stories that Athalia posted about.

And, no, I don't think Laurel cares all that much--because she can't do any more about it than the writers can. This Web site pretended for years--and let authors here believe--that they would go to bat over stolen works and get the stolen works taken down, but they can't do any better at it than anyone else who puts their work on here for free use and it gets stolen and reposted. They can't prove it's yours any more than you can without a formal registration that predates the theft--and even then, it's nonsense to try to go to court over it because you valued it at zero worth in posting it here to begin with.

I think it would be great to be able to prevent your work being stolen and reposted, but very little beyond bluff works. If you can't live with that, don't post your material on a free-use site. When you do, you've valued it at zero from the get go.
