Is your work or writing somewhere online?

Have you ever posted your writing online?

Well, just in case someone isn't sure of the legalities, once you've posted something online it will never be professionally published or official by a publishing house, because technically posting your work online is a form of publication, and no one will buy something when the world can access it for free.

So with that said, have you currently or previously posted something online?
I once posted a short chapter on Y!A, and a week after that read a post coincidentally similar to my piece. :(

So is your work on the internet?
Answers:
Mmmm... yeah. But it's only, like, fanfiction, so just some Naruto "made up" stories.
I've solely posted like a paragraph, asking what people thought of my writing. Nothing that really gave away anything to my story.
I'm so sorry that happen to you!
I'm so sorry that happened to you! I don't post my stories online, even though all I do is write. I only share them next to my friends for their views,.
I've never typed or submitted my work on the internet, but I'm so sorry that happen to you! D:
Nope. Only on private forums which were later deleted.
My work is NOT on the internet. I posted a portion of it- the first intro page on here to get feedback and got 39 responders who claimed they loved it across the board and one personality that said it would be pitched in the trash. But I deleted the post so it wouldn't be , you know, online.
Plus it was only the first page of a 150 page book with out spoilers, ect., so I'm not worried at all.

I'm so very sorry this happen to you, sweetie. I'm so sorry. People steal, and it's just really hard. It's so hard for a writer to come up near some good material and then you want to return with feedback but people can take that and run with it.

Did you post your ENTIRE work online because even Stephenie Meyers and Mario Puzo hold "excerpts" of their work available online to read- a chapter or so. Get on amazon and almost every book there has that. Also, if you change a couple of minor things within the material you posted, it becomes different than what you originally posted online.AND you can get a FEDERAL copyright of your work for similar to $35 I believe. So somebody lifted your work? Well, it all comes down to who has the FEDERAL copyright first and I somehow doubt this other creature has done that, honestly. Your copyright will stand up in court.
