So, I was right all along when I assumed that the second I post my stories here, I no longer have the right to post them elsewhere? Disappointing, but not surprising. I always found this site to be by far the most convenient, so I'll almost certainly keep posting my stories here. Besides, in theory CC-BY-SA is the perfect licence... I just have the same worries as HopelessNightOwl, that random people could pretend to be the authors of stories in order to get them deleted (and not just from here, but narrations on Youtube, etc. as well).

Another question, which is hopefully not considered off-topic (even though it's pretty specific) since it's still about licencing on this Wiki: for a long and complex story that's still mostly just in the planning stage, I've been writing smaller "foundational stories" and posting them anonymously on 4chan, 8chan and Reddit for about five years to establish "lore" or whatever; when I get around to finishing the full story (and posting it here), which could be years from now, would I have the right to quote those? I obviously can't change their licencing since they're already gone and/or archived, and don't even have any way to prove that I wrote them... besides, including something like "licenced CC-BY-SA" would completely break the realism of stories that are supposed to be "true".

Well, anyway, hopefully this licencepocalypse won't lead to the site dying.
