How do I delete one of my stories??

[MyBareTorso]

Hi all! Advice would be much appreciated here. How do you delete one of your own stories? I had a story "pending" for over a week, so I resubmitted it with a new title when I didn't hear anything back about its status. I thought that it had fallen through the cracks. Now both stories have been published, and they are identical. Thanks in advance to any gurus out there who can help.

Resubmit the story title you don't want, with the word Delete added. Put the same Note to the Editor you've put here. That will get it in front of Laurel quickest, I think.

You might also want to put a temporary note on your Bio page, apologising for the duplicate story, and point folk towards the version you want them to read. I'd also turn off Votes and Comments for the one you're getting rid of. You don't need jerks telling you've got a duplicated story - you're red faced enough as it is.

Next time, be more patient. You're a newbie, newbie stories typically take a week .
