@RobMay I'm looking forward to the rest of the story once I get some time. I am looking to release my beginning soon.

          Hiya there. 
          
          Yes, these messages are public. When you tag us, it just notifies us without us having to remember to check your profile. 
          
          As for your question. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. 
          
          The copy and paste are not doable because it would cause plagiarism, which is illegal. For instance, I could take your story and claim it as mine then. Which is bad. 
          
          As for what you're trying to accomplish. You can share your own writing anywhere if you'd like. You have the original work, so wherever you post is entirely up to you. By posting on Wattpad, you do not grant exclusive rights or anything. 
          
          I hope this helped. :)

@xxmajaine Thanks for the intro. I am new here and also in the midst of my first fiction sci-fi project. I am planning to release it serialized with a new chapter every 2 weeks.
          
          If all goes well in the future and a little bit of a following develops, I plan to get an editor and release it on Amazon and other retailers as a completed book. Maybe for a price and maybe Free as the first book in a series.
          
          I notice the text of books here is not select-able to copy and paste elsewhere. I plan to pretty much blast these chapters as I release them all over my social networks to gather an audience. I want to link here to Wattpad but also plan to (in some places), include a few paragraphs of the chapter, or maybe the entire chapter for those that don't wish to click through.
          
          Is there anything wrong with this plan in your experience. I want to make sure I do not violate any TOS of the service or anything.
          
          Thanks.
