As some people may know, I've always held off posting my original fiction on the forums as, due to copyright laws, once a story's released into the 'public domain' (that is, somewhere where anyone can see it for free, such at the internet), it can't be published.
Which is a bit rubbish, but never mind!.

Not necessarily. John Dies At The End, a horror novel, started out as an annual Halloween piece done by David Wong on Pointlesswasteoftime. Eventually it was picked up by Permuted Press, and then harper books. All he had to do was get rid of the copy he had on the internet.
