Thank you for your comment and for reading the story.
I apologise if I broke the community rules. I read that the community could be used by authors in parallel with other platforms (such as Amazon etc), so I thought this was fine seeing as I'm the original creator of the content. I interpreted the posting to other platforms as a direct reference to plagiarism.
I am new to online publishing/posting and have yet to build a readership. Therefore I'm testing multiple platforms as I try to cultivate an interest in my content.
