As someone who is published, I reluctantly suggest that you take down the link to the original story, if it is one you hope to eventually sell. Short fiction pays practically nothing, but even so, publishers want to know that they are getting the first rights (of varying kinds) to your work (reprints are a whole 'nother story, no pun intended). If you post your original fic on line, it is effectively "published" and you don't really have those rights to sell, any more. If you were posting an excerpt from a novel, I'd say at least friends-lock the post, so that it is only available to people you know and trust, and you can truthfully say that only a handful of your friends have seen it. With a short story, you're putting the whole enchilada out there, and that's not wise.
