Sorry for the delayed reply, Zohaib.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'secure'. If you mean can someone copy what you've written then the answer is yes, they could. But why would they? You usually only post opening chapters on the site - their word limit is 7000, I think - so unless you've come up with the best idea for a story ever, your writing's unlikely to be plagiarised.

You have to take a risk at some point, otherwise you'll never know if your work will appeal to enough people for it to be attractive to a publisher.

I wouldn't worry. If you believe you write well enough just get some work out there for others, who don't know you, to comment on.You'll get some bad reviews, because everyone does, but plenty of encouragement too. Good luck.
