Stories For Deletion

Just a suggestion, rather than outright delete them wouldn't it be better to just revert them to draft mode?

That way the few where the author wants to continue it won't lose them and the others won't be visible.
 
a few might be be savable if a little work was put in but ones like zoom is just the word zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom. Removed is just a deleted page with the word removed. Only a small handful of the writers are even active. I leave it to the moderators to look over and decided on a story by story bases which is why I posted links.

I Get the fact that you want to write a story buy can't even write an introduction. But why publish it though?
 
A bunch of them are from the old site before friedman took over and got brought over in the move. A few where stories that where created and then the writer just deleted for whatever reason and put something on the front page.

I'm sad that ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM got deleted but not some others.
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM as a complete story at least makes me laugh.

I thought that would be a Thomas the Tank Engine storyline where we all get to debate whether the nonhuman characters fit the moderation requirements. My low hopes were dashed.

well, they certainly pass the Harkness Test...Or at least some of them. I'm not sure if Thomas the Tank Engine counts as an adult for his "species". that isn't a franchise that I've...ever been invested in.

You should see the crap they put on YouTube these days. Not everyone's going to putting out Shakespeare here. It's even more demoralizing when your work is deemed unfit to keep. If the moderator's prerogative is to give everyone a chance, I don't think it's our call to deny that to anyone. No one is forcing you read the two or three sentences they have up there. It's not harming anybody and barely takes up any space. Just leave them alone, maybe they'll get back to it or maybe it'll just be sifted to the bottom of the well forever forgotten by the lecherous hordes. If it is that much of an affront to you that such works exists, there is always the option to take them over and rework them into your image. Heck, you probably read through them all in order to get the list done, shouldn't be that hard.
 
I don't care personally if they stay or go. But if its just one sentence then I don't see how to rework it into a story without starting over which is essentially creating a new story.

Life
Holy crap... before we can go anywhere... I just realized... I don't know who I am.... D: Who am I?

The Date
You introduce yourself to your date.

And those are the better ones. Friedman dumped the ones that said stuff like remove story, delete me, and A. A few have been picked up by others after being on this list and I wish them luck with what little they have to go with. If they can do something with it good for them.

How do I delete a story? I've wanted to delete The Dissonance for years.

Click the little down arrow and go to my stories, click the three dots and choose edit story, there you will find the option to delete a story. If anyone has added to the story you will have to delete those threads first.

I deleted it in the end. There was only one thread ever and I closed it years ago to stop anyone from adding to it.
