That just sounds too good to be true. Like, how could something be licenced in two different ways at the same time? I'd like people to be able to do whatever they want with my stories provided that they credit me as the author, which is in theory what CC-BY-SA guarantees, but what if on another site everything is automatically licenced under a full copyright? Wouldn't that mean I can't post my story there if I've already posted it here since I'd be violating the licencing that I published my story under by posting it here?

First of all, as Underscorre said, you are free to post your stories from here to anywhere else.

Second, from my understanding, if you don't care about the license of your story (or if you want your story to be CC-BY-SA or similar), you will not have an issue. For example, Reddit gives you the copyright to your story. Then, you post the same story here. This results in the copyright from Reddit being voided and your whole work will be licensed under CC-BY-SA. If you are OK with that, you are fine.

Problems arise when you explicitly give the copyright of your story to someone else. For example, if you submit your story for a commercial anthology, the publisher might prohibit you from sharing your story in any other way. I am certain no such restrictions apply to Reddit (I haven't checked, but I assume Reddit gives the user the copyright to their content).

So, as long you have the copyright to your story (which came, for example, from Reddit), you can do whatever you want with your story.
