Combining Chapters

[Erlikkhan]

I have a few stories that I published in multiple very short chapters when I first began posting. I would like to combine these into fewer chapters or in some cases just one and update the stories but I have no idea how this can be done. Anyone have some advice? Thanks in advance.

1. You can submit the whole revised thing as a new story e.g. "My story complete", or

2. Rewrite as fewer chapters/parts and submit as parts e.g. "My story Pt. 01; Pt. 02...", and then

3. When the new versions have been posted - Submit the exact title of the original chapter(s) as posted followed by "DELETE" and put "Please Delete" in the Notes box. You don't need to put any text in the submission.

OR

A. EDIT each chapter and resubmit with the exact same title followed by "EDITED" and put "Edited Version" in the Notes box. That will keep the original views, votes and comments.

Supplementary question (as we say): Why? Were the short chapters not well received? (Just curious.)

And beyond that, why bog down the submissions process? Why can't you just move on to your next stories?

Both good points. The series I am thinking about editing all received decent reviews (most chapters above 4.5). However, I made substantial changes to the stories which, in my opinion, improve them significantly. I will give this some more thought.

Thank you oggbashan for the guidance.
