Just wondering.
I may seem selfish asking this, but I was just wondering.
Say I want to use my work that I've posted on WF as a compilation for future publishing. Eg short stories collections, or peom collections.
Is it... how should I put it... possible, or advisable, or ethical, to pull out my work from WF? I mean, if there are some stories or poetry here that I've written, and have an opportunity to publish, I wouldn't want the free copy circulating the internet. I heard there was a copyright thingy on WF, so I don't really know how this works.
Simply putting it, I may in the future decide to pull out my posts of work from WF. How do I go around that?

Well, if you decide to pull work off the site, you would go about it by editting the posted story to basically be a blank post (probably consisting of a note saying the story or poem was removed. And/or you would ask a moderator to simply delete the thread.

of course it is!... there's no question... the work is yours, not the site's... just delete the work from your posts and do what you want with it...

There's no problem with pulling your own works for whatever reason. It's been done before, and for exactly the reasons you've mentioned. Standard practice really.
