A recent post struck me and I wanted to make a comment about it.
As far as I am concerned, and I hope the authors agree here, all copyrights of the fiction belong to the individual authors. Under US copyright law, the first publishing of a work sets the copyright. It is also my understanding that electronic publishing such as this counts. However, I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV or anyplace else.
If anyone is concerned about their copyright rights, I'd suggest speaking with a lawyer about it. And I will definitely work with anyone towards securing their rights.
