In a previous episode I wrote:
most print publishers do not accept submissions that were previously
published, so even a magazine spread featuring something I posted to
MOCpages might prevent me from publishing it myself.

It's worse than I thought. In reading some submission guidelines I find that
publishers expect exclusive rights, so having given that right to MOCpages I
wouldn't even be able to publish things MOCpages or its successors never
published.

I think "first North American serial rights" is the usual phrase.  It
still reserves the right to the author to publish it again later, but
it should be previously unpublished.

This is one reason I won't submit to Bricks Magazine: they don't just
take FNASR; they buy all rights to the work.
