Alright so since I've gotten a ton of constructive feedback about my series, I've decided to start over and re-write some bits and re-format it to make it more electronic device friendly. I think it has a lot of potential if I can fix its problems.

If I fix it, can I re-submit it and and have it posted as one big post and the other chapters I've got up now (the not great ones) will get deleted?

If anyone has the time, I'd like to hear what you think needs to be fixed (besides the long paragraphs. I've been told 383954 times they need to be fixed. hehe I'm working on it now!) if you feel like reading.

Thanks a ton everybody who has been helping me so far!!!

I know I could track down your story, but it would be easier if you had links in your post here.

As for rewriting: Yes, you can re-write your multi-part story, and submit it with the same name plus EDITED in the title. For instance, when I rewrote JENNY BE FAIR, I submitted it with the title JENNY BE FAIR - EDITED and it replaced the prior version.

To get rid of the orphan chapters, just email Laurel and say you would like them deleted. She will send instructions on how to do so.
 
Personally, I think you'd be spinning your wheels...

I think I'd end your current story quickly and take your lumps. Then sit down and write something else. Maybe you can find an editor that will help you along the way. Take you time. There are a ton of tutorials on the net, maybe you can learn some things from them.
Don't try to write a perfect story, especially at first. After several years of writing and a couple of books under my belt, I sometimes look back at my first writings and wonder who wrote that crap.
It takes time, patience, study, and a thick skin to be a writer, don't try to rush it.
