How do I go about having my stories deleted?

[Southerngirl72]

I have been searching all over the site to see how I would go about having my stories deleted and have not been able to locate that info. I fear I may be in the wrong forum to ask this, but if you have any info on this, I would greatly appreciate it!

regards,

Submit the story title again with DELETE behind it and note in the Notes box that you want it deleted. Authors have said they managed to get multiple stories deleted by PMing Laurel and specifying which ones they wanted deleted.

I've actually included the title/chapter of each story in the notes field and have had the same results without PMing Laurel.

Submit the first story like so:

Story Title Ch. 01 - DELETE


I include a note in the story text field and the Notes field:

"Please also delete Story Title Ch. 02, Story Title Ch. 03"

or

"Please also delete Second Story Ch.01, Second Story Ch. 02"

and so on for each story and/or chapter.

It usually takes the same amount of time for a story to be deleted that it does for it to be approved.

There is one other way (and this info came from Laurel herself.) You can submit a story with the title simply being DELETE and in the story submission field, you list all of the titles you wish to be deleted along with a note stating you want them all deleted.

For example

DELETE (this is title of submission)

(this goes in submission box)Please delete the following stories:

story 1's title
story 2's title
story 3's title
and so on

I always do it this way when I want multiple stories deleted and they are taken care of without problems (usually within 3-5 days).

Actually, you really can't! Once they are in ether they are there forever.

Oh, you mean from this site! I suppose someone has already explained that.

But back to what I was saying...once you post something to the web/internet it's there forever. It will be stored on a multitude of servers, nodes and individual machines all connected to the internet. So really deleting something is a very hard process.
