Funny that posting a story on the 'net can get so complicated.

Thanks for all this. At least now I have some idea of what it'd be like. For the record, I think I'll wait with public postings of any versions; if my story is as good as I hope (that is to say, good enough that people want to read the end), I'll end up waiting months between posts, and I don't like doing that to people. Perhaps I'll make things harder for myself in the long run (if it turns out there's a major plot hole or mischaracterisation) but at least I won't make promises, then dissapoint people. I hate doing that. And I ought to start looking for a beta-reader anyway...

"It occurs to me that it's interesting if, as a reader, you can enjoy a very open-ended short story that wouldn't satisfy your sense of... completeness if you'd written it."

I suppose it's just that - *I* didn't write it, so it's not my responsibility. But usually when I read a story that has ANY potential for continuation, or just deeper exploration, ideas fly around my head for at least the next few days (fanfic of fanfic, I suppose). I feel bad because it's still someone else's work, but it's part of the enjoyment, and a pretty good indication that they wrote their fanfic well.
