Should I remove a story here if I publish it on Amazon or Smashwords?

[Emotional]

I am going to lengthen and publish a few of my popular stories.

Should I remove them from here if I do?

You are under no obligation as far as Literotica is concerned. When you publish a story at Literotica, you give them a nonexclusive license to publish here. You're free to do what you want in other platforms. Those other platforms, however, may have their own terms, so you have to be mindful of them.

Smashwords doesn't care, but be aware that Amazon has a policy that your work can't be available anywhere for less than it is on amazon.
Lit is free so if you're charging you could have the book removed if they do a search and find out the story is here.

Even if the story is longer and different?

Not sure, and if you change the title that can help

But its still a risk and keep in mind how often readers or other authors will come here and say they found a 'stolen' lit story on amazon and they report it thinking they're helping you.

Your choice, I'm just telling you it could happen.

Change the title if you are lengthening or changing the story and you should be fine on Amazon. I do it all the time.
