Would I be able to publish work I've put on here?

I was thinking about taking some of stories on here to amazon or the like to self publish. I'd still leave the free stories up because I don't want to be a douche. Can I legally do that, or does literotica have copyright on it?
 
You own the copyright to your work. From the submission page:
Thank you for deciding to submit your writing to Literotica. By submitting your work to this site, you are granting us the non-exclusive right to publish your submission, and to use all legal means to protect submitted work from unauthorized use by other parties. You retain all copyrights to your submission.
 
You retain the full copyright to your own work and can do whatever you please with it - including reworking it for publishing elsewhere.
 
As above, but note that if you're self-publishing on Amazon, they require that you're not offering the work for a lower price elsewhere, so if they find out it's still up for free on Lit they're likely to take it down from Amazon.
 
Legally, yes.

But anything that's not first publication is automatically less attractive to publishers, to the point that I can't imagine any would even look at it. But in these days of self-publishing, perhaps that doesn't bother you.
