I'll read there... not that I have writing time these days, but I'm not sure I'd use that forum for writing...

For example, if I were to post an 8K chunk of "Game of Lords" on the board, would that invalidate the entire work? I’m actually a little curious to know if that counts for an excerpt of a work.

If someone is trying to get something published, having it public on the internet is counted by most publishers as being the 'first edition' or 'first run'. Publishers generally want first edition rights to storys and novels they buy, so even if it's the next Harry Potter, odds are they'll pass on it. For things like fan fic and whatnot, though, I'd be all about it. John, you may want to think about it being password protected/hidden.
