Like SMW, I don't put anything online (and unlocked) that I intend to publish, as that gets into legal issues.
Beyond that, I share stories typically with betas and critique groups once I think they're about as clean as I can (reasonably) get them. I try to publish once things are nearly perfect - i.e. they've gone through a round or two of critiques, plus I've cleaned them up a lot after the last critique. If someone wants to see what I have, I usually share whatever it is, in any stage. But I write a lot, so out of politeness, I usually try to share only the non-gibberish stuff, unless I'm stuck and asking for advice. (Which happens, sometimes.)
I'm definitely happy to rip sentences out of stories and post just for fun. *shrugs* I'm pretty insensitive, I think.
