Paranoia or Intelligence?
Ever since I joined, I've always been a bit worried about posting my "good" writing. I've uploaded a lot of my earlier, not-as-good work onto here. The things I take more pride in, like a novel I'm currently working on or my best poems, I've been nervous about uploading. Not just about people stealing it in general, but my ideas (story-wise). I feel that my ideas are at least a little original and not all that generic, so I don't want someone using my ideas and getting credit for them. It's not that I think I'm amazing or anything, I just don't want to lose what I've worked so hard for.
Comments? :? Am I being silly and overly cautious or smart?

that happens to me sometimes but generally am so unpopular that I'd never get stealed from...

It's your choice. People do steal ideas, which is how copywright came into play. It's your choice. I just post to post, and to get better at my righting. I have one story idea I'm not going to post on here, because I want to keep it to myself for the time being. But then again, there are better stories of mine on here. I don't care. I would rather have opinions and critiques than to not improve.
