This online magazine published three of my stories but closed a couple of years ago.
I can't find my contract - I'm not sure we even had one - and I'm wondering where I stand legally in relation to those stories now. Could I edit and use them in a self-published book or are they not available to me ever again?
Does anyone know?

I know it's a bit late to say it now, but in future ALWAYS check what rights you're giving up BEFORE submitting, and keep a record.
It's Amy Kinnond, but can't remember her TB name.
Amy is on my FB as well
Still, courtesy's never a bad idea and I'd say Lizy's doing the right thing by checking. I'd probably also include a note to say where the story was first published when it came to putting the collection together. It can't really help the website in terms of promoting it, but it's a nice gesture.
Danfango's comment is a good one, thank you.
