Again, posting a story on TC, then not editing the post in the future is a perfectly reasonable way of attaching a copyright date to your stories. That's all a copyright form does. You should also send things to DC to be copyrighted, but posting them here is quick, fun, and an ideal way of fixing an exact date to your work. Simply include a copyright notice and your name at the beginning or end of your story as I've done.

A Tip; you needn't fill out a seperate form for everything you've done when you send it in to Washington. Simply print out everything and send it in one huge batch, say once a year. eg. Title of work; "Stacy's Work 2007".

I wouldn't worry too much about the problems of publishing until you've written a LOT first. Your first concern shouldn't be where to put the Pulitzer Prize. Most writers have 8-12 novels in the top drawer before they first get published.

Write write write! Get to work! A writer is a person who WRITES, not a person who wants to write!

So lets see the stuff! C'mon folks post!
