I am writing on a temporary account. In spring and fall 2009 I contributed stories under the user name "aesexual pseudonym."

It seems that most of the functionality has been restored since the server crash, so kudos to the person or persons who pulled a hundred all-nighters to make so much progress.

Just checked in on my stories for the first time in a while, and currently there are two versions of the same story up. Since the story is extremely long, it is bumping other authors on the "Long Stories" listing. The synopses/reviews/counts are all gone, probably due to the server crash (trivial problems compared to the doubling issue, which affects other contributors negatively). Finally, my account is gone (i.e., the "aesexual pseudonym" account).

I have read above in this thread that the good Torquemada is still working on database restoration for minor features, such as the synopses, which is all to the good, however long it takes. However, I have a couple propositions that could solve the above issues much quicker/easier.

In short, my "story" is the first novel of three. The second part of the "story" is almost finished (due for completion in late March 2010). I would very much like to come back here. If that is okay with everybody. If I were to come back, I would obviously post the second part of my story, bringing the total length of the content to 1.3 million words. (Yes, I would break it all into chapters!) So, two proposals.


Let me come back (Please???): Delete all my story content. (Story #1, Unlikely Antichrist, and the short story.) I realize this might take time. I will check every few days. If I find that it has all been deleted, I will re-register as "aesexual pseudonym" and resubmit it, so that it will be there once, correctly, and will not bump other authors.

Don't let me come back (sigh): PM this account to tell me to screw. If so, fine. But in this case, please have the courtesy to delete all my stories, so that readers are no longer confused as to my status and searching for me on every other story site in the Web.


Thanks either way. (But I really do hope you pick Option A!!!)
