is usually possible only for a site administrator. Simply write a PM to one of them (you know who they are) and ask. It's thoughtful to include a link to the title page of each story, because it saves looking for it, and therefore admin time. You never know when you might want to look at the older version of a story, including comments, so this is almost always a good idea. Deleting it is very final, and deletes all the comments, which is kind of weird for your readers if you change your mind and want to put it back.

Likewise, when you write your memoirs, you may want to include an admiring comment from a reader in your "blurbs," so you'll be sadly disappointed if it's gone.

You can, however, delete your own story by simply opening it for "Edit."

Down at the bottom of the Edit page, you'll see two buttons, "Preview," and "Delete." The second button does just what the name implies, although it will ask you if you're sure that you really want to do that. You might be surprised how easy it is to become confused when clicking buttons and accidentally click on the wrong one.

Cheers,
