I like your idea. However, I don't like the fact that simply by submitting something I automatically grant you a license to do whatever you want with it. In fact, I was going to submit a short story but will not after reading your terms and conditions.
I think that to make the site successful you need high quality stories that people want to read and vote up. I am not sure that authors would be willing to post on your site knowing that they are then granting you a license for their work.

- sbarski 18y agoIf you read the last paragraph in our T&C you will see that we do not assert any ownership over your content (story). It still belongs to you and you can do with it whatever you like. What we want, however, is to be able to use user-submitted content for any possible advertising or promotion purposes. This is kind of what facebook does except not as evil. We reckon that the user will benefit from this too (as it will show off his story to more people if we link to it in an ad). We will make all of that clearer in our T&C. Thank you!
- rksprst 18y agoI did read that last paragraph where you say that I still have ownership over my content. However, I am still granting you a license to do whatever you want with the story. Meaning you can go and sell the top stories to publishers legally. I don't like this. I would make it so that you can only use it for promotions with prior written consent from the author and the only license I grant you is to display it on your site.
