Copyright exists for work the moment it's created and displayed, whether it be published or unpublished. Therefore, because your wording of number three, no story meets your requirements.

I assuming you mean that you won't read stories with a registered copyright, but that doesn't change anything from how the work can be used. A registration is used for public record and law cases. They are protected by copyright laws all the same, though.

I suppose I'm confused by #3 in general. If you're requesting submissions, those who send to you are giving you permission, so there are no infringements so long as you've explained what you're using them for.
