Participating in writing-related sites (for example on critique sites) sometimes involves describing a plot problem or sharing an excerpt from my work. I'm usually vague because of the fear that someone might steal my ideas. I already know that I'm being paranoid, but I've worked too hard to have my work stolen. If I post my book ideas on sites like this one for critique, can my work be stolen? What should I do to protect myself?
