Last November, I posted my first story on this site. One of the sections was very well received, but the rest, frankly, needed some help. Since I wanted to build on the story, I decided to take it down and start over. Because of other obligations, I wasn't able to get back to it for quite some time. The new story is broken to five parts. I posted the first part this week:

Based on a couple of comments I received, it seems there were some people unhappy that I rewrote the story and posted the first part back up on the site. I'm pretty sure these same people were also trying to somehow punish my story by driving the rating down artificially.
This is not a word-for-word repost by any means. Of the five parts of my story, portions of parts one, two, and four are rewritten. Parts three and five are completely original. Even the portions that are rewritten are very different from the original. While the stories main premise remains, the flow is completely different.
Now I'm wondering whether I should post the other four parts on the site or if I should try to find another venue. I don't want to violate any written or unwritten rules. I also don't want to be trolled over the next four weeks as I post the rest of the story.
I do appreciate feedback, positive and negative, as it makes me a better writer. I just wonder whether the whole rewrite issue will distract from the actual story.
Any thoughts?
