I guess I'm not as interested in churing out quantity as I am with churning out quality. Bottom line, I will be submitting everything I am comfortable with for publication, at least a few times, before I just stick it out there.<br /><br />By the way, Fiction Press is a site that is mainly for fan-fiction and has a huge audience, technically. However, with so much stuff there, it's easy to get lost. I don't think anyone read what I put out there that wasn't pointed there by me personally.<br /><br />Thanks for weighing in, Dr. G. Your opinion is valuable and appreciated. :)Tom Doolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451129317759266295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798129571242557592.post-753120140011059622011-02-09T19:31:08.544-06:002011-02-09T19:31:08.544-06:00I don't know exactly what Fictionpress is, but...I don't know exactly what Fictionpress is, but my understanding is this, if you put something up on a blog that is open to the public then you have essentially published it and few magazines will be interested in paying for that material, although they 'might' consider it as a reprint. However, if you post a story to a limited online audience, such as an online critique group, then it is not considered to have been published. If Fictionpress has a limited number of people who must register in order to view the material, then you might be OK. I tend to put some stuff on my blog and just consider it a give away. If I have something I want to publish and hopefully get paid for I never put it up on the net before trying to sell it, although occassionally I will post a 'small' piece of it or a partial draft version online.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
