Digging in the drawers

[Icingsugar]

Howdy.

I just submitted two poems that I wrote and probably spread around a little bit ages ago. I found them yeasterday, and decided that they would be great on Lit.

So I posted the forms ten minutes ago. But then it hit me. They're old, and "published" already on a newsgroup years ago.

What is the consent on adding old works to ones Lit portfolio? Should I have'em cancelled?

Dear I,
You may have hoped for a reply along the lines of, "Oh, please post them immediately. I can hardly wait to read them."

I'm afraid my response, though, is "Why not? So what? Who cares?

I do wish you had asked the obvious question, though: "How long does it take a story to get posted..................."
Helpful as always,
MG

In her own special way, MG has a point. You can take whatever you want and submit it as poetry. As long as you wrote it, it will get posted.

I thought she had two points... and a very round spot.

That is, word by word, exactly what I wanted to hear.

Dunno if the message got through properly. Question was: Should stuff be Lit exclusive? Are there...like...rules and stufff I missed? I think you hit the spot with "Who cares?"

Nope.

Icingsugar > when I joined Lit, I posted a bunch of old stuff that had been kicking around on my personal site for years. The more recent stories are at the moment exclusively on Lit, but that's only because I've been too lazy to put them anyplace else. I don't think there's any problem with it. As long as no one else, say a publisher, has rights to the tales, that is.

Public Domain, baby. A publisher wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
