STOP DELETING YOUR STORIES!!! Read Now!!!
This is ridiculous! If you are just 'shocked' that Quibblo 'owns' your stories guess what--you should have read the terms and conditions before you joined. That simple. I've known since I joined, because I always read those before joining a site.
But please. If you decide that one day you are going to take the stories you once-upon-a-time wrote on Quibblo and get them published, and by some miracle you do get them published (can you tell I've been trying for years to get my stories published?), Quibblo isn't going to sue you for copyright infringement!!
Let's just say that you got one of your stories published. How do you think Quibblo is going to know that your story was posted on their site at one point in the past? Eh? Think of all the material posted on this website every frickin' day. All the quizzes and stories, questions, and arguments. Do you really think they'll recognize it? I doubt they read any of the stories on here to begin with!
Even if you put on the inside cover that you once posted your story on a website called Quibblo, I don't think they would notice.
Now let's pretend that by some strange happening, Quibblo decided to try and take you to court for your infringement (this would never happen, but let's just pretend). Who is going to win in court? The person who has owned that story from the get-go, or a website that put that term in so they could protect the stories on their website from theft?
Let's think.
Copyright laws are tricky things. Regardless of what Quibblo would say, your work is your own intellectual property. You created that story, it's yours, through and through.
So PLEASE stop deleting your stories. Especially the fanfiction ones! They aren't really yours, because you are taking the ideas and property of the original author and making a story based on those. Who cares? You couldn't publish that in a million years anyway!
Stop deleting your stories, stop being so ridiculous about this, and most of all STOP REBELLING AGAINST QUIBBLO! This is just stupid! I never thought I'd see the day.....Ah well. Mkay? Stop deleting them and making all your fans depressed, all right?

I agree!!! If u keep deleting stories, then no one will want to come on and quibblo will be abandoned :(
I'm not deleting, I'm just trasfering to Wattpad just in case something happens where my computer won't let me on Quib. my computer doesn't like Quib.
Thank God someone on here is smart. You have no idea how many "I'm deleting all of my stories" things I've recieved in the past few hours alone it's ridiculous.
i got those messages every 5 seconds and its becoming mind nerving
i have some good idea. A couple of pages were nothing but invites to stories about people deleting their works, and how Quibblo was a cheating horrible website. -_-
i made a stupid mistake...
when ever i let my brain make a desision, it always ends up bad
lead with your heart, not your head
I agree too. Because I don't know if quibblo can own something that you created. I delete my stories for other reasons not bcz of quibblo. And besides quibblo has less drama than twitter and Facebook.
I've gotten like a million of them today.I totally agree.Even I read the terms and conditions,because you should
I totally agree. What's Quibblo going to do with a bunch of my Hunger Games fanfics anyways? It's just ridiculous. I'm not leaving, but just in case, I put in the intro's of all of my stories that they are my ideas, and that I own them. It's not big deal. I have no idea why everyone's freaking out about it.
True they should of read the terms and conditions
THANK YOU!!! FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!!!!!
Thank you! Finally, someone with some sense 'round here!
