When I post something on here, am I not allowed to publish it as a novel/series since it is on the internet? :)

You're allowed to do whatever you want with the material you write.

However, posting something on the Internet can sometimes mean that you have used your first publication rights, which are what most trade publishers want if they purchase your book for publication. Consider carefully before you post your writing anywhere on the Internet.

Yes. Do consider carefully.

However, it is also true the the SYW boards here are password protected and so work posted there is NOT considered "published". Posting your work there does not use up first rights, because it is not publicly readable.

They're typically answered, surprisingly, by an FAQ in this very forum.

What, there are actual FAQ stickies somewhere on AW? :e2smack:

Hey, I've only been here 4 years. Give me a chance to look around some ...
