I know my fiction won't be published. I don't have the heart or thick enough skin to flog it properly. That said, I do like the thrill of seeing it in (e)print. I've formatted the heck out of my Sian Word document so it approximates a paperback and am writing in it directly. It's sort of fun.

Paperbacks have their Library of Congress boilerplate. Until now, I jokingly put some (purportedly-)funny text there. A few weeks ago, I happened upon the Creative Commons site, above. It has some sort of license-o-matic CGI to define what I want to allow others to do / not do with my work (besides read it, that is.)
