It has, nevertheless, answers.

Because they were written in 1936? (sorry, couldn't resist.)

Because they were written in 1936? (sorry, couldn't resist.)

Only the rhetorical answer.

... I don't give a flying fuck about the copyright. ...

Are you saying I can take your stories, put my name on them and then sell them?

If I thought they were sale-worthy, I'd have sold them.

Not in the UK without being vulnerable to suit, no. But in the United States, yes. UK doesn't have formal copyright requirements for filing a law suit; the United States does. So, if you want to functionally protect them in the United States, you have to file for copyright. But I doubt there are many here who do.

That's okay I guess. I'll finish it up completely, then try again, probably be best that way anyhow.

Rather a hollow win. Just about everyone goes longer than that here without finding an "editor."

You never know until you try!

Please don't confuse sale-worthy with sellable.

Please don't confuse sale-worthy with sellable.

There is a difference? As far as I am concerned any of my own writings is sale-worthy as soon as one person bought it.
