I would favor posting links to stories that are archived on the SWG proper, but not posting actual stories themselves on the tumblr. As your summary of the initial discussion points out, it's too easy for posts to fly out of their originators' control. If people want to post their stories on their personal tumblrs, there's always that option for them, but I don't think we want that huge potential for drama to happen under the SWG's banner.
The artwork I'm a bit more iffy about. Theoretically the same concerns would apply, but in the case of art I'm less concerned about drama and more concerned about the artist's credit and/or artist statements being removed. This seems to be a fairly common occurrence on tumblr (to my perpetual disgruntlement).
I think all the other content sounds good, although the discussions would get unwieldy and again there is always the risk of them getting co-opted or derailed.
Re: editing/deleting posts. The original poster CAN edit or delete a post, but neither change will affect any iterations of the post that have already been reblogged.
