Copyright protection begins automatically as soon as you fix your story in a tangible form, but to strengthen that protection you should save dated files and drafts (with metadata), put a clear copyright notice on the work, and register the story with your country’s copyright office (in the U.S., the Copyright Office). Registration gives you stronger legal remedies (including the ability to sue and seek statutory damages) if someone copies your work.
