Hi Laevus! :wave: Welcome back!

This is one the the friendliest writing sites I've found, so I think you'll be happy here. Try to remember that no matter what a crit might say, we REALLY want to help you make your writing stronger.

I'm not certain, but I think that anything out on the public web counts as published -- for that portion of the work. I suggest you repost your question out on the Main Discussion Board -
http://fmwriters.com/community/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=17

You'll get more views and many more answers than you'll get here.
