I have just received a message from an author who also posts here. He has sent me a peremptory apparent request, without a rationale, justification or anything else to remove his stories from the site.

The answer is very simple and contained in http://iomfats.org/misc/copyright.html where it says very clearly "items that I and the copyright owner have agreed should be published, which will remain at my sole discretion once initial permisison has been given."

Submission is final unless I choose to remove them. A decent rationale would have got them removed. But he has annoyed me now.

So I want to remind him: This site is for fun. And I maintain it as a hobby. He's actually very lucky that his stories made the cut in the first place. That was a major compliment to his writing, which is, while unspecial, pleasing.

But, like any publisher, once I have been granted the right to publish, the writing stays. Unless I choose myself to remove it for editorial reasons of my own.

Please read our Copyright Statement, Disclaimer, and Privacy Policy , which opens in a new screen.
There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
We treat everyone as having good sense and mature judgement.
