User blog:Spookyboo/Artistic and Grammar Changes to Stories

I am hoping this is not a big deal. As this site is in the realm of the Creative Commons then it is possible to change stories up a bit. I typically do this if the POV might be wrong for the character when I'm reading or if the story is really good but needs something extra such as more description or a different ending. I do not do this on stories where the authors have added their name to the story at the end. I don't know why, it just seems more personal for them for some reason.

I also update grammar. Sometimes it can be difficult to read a story with out of place punctuation or grammar. Yesterday I took a whole story and put it in first person because it sounded better that way. It is also a good way for me to practice writing and editing since I am a writer as well.

The stories I do change I add to my website and always add a link back to the place where I pulled the prose from. I understand this is required under the Creative Commons license, but I would do it anyway because I am not the original creator of the story and it is only right to do so.

I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this? I'm sure that everyone who uses the site knows this is possible. What do they think about it? Do the authors who do not necessarily sign their names mind the stories being changed up a little bit? Thanks for reading :)
