I haven't got the slightest clue as to what i'm doing wrong! I'm trying to delete one of my stories (it's utter crap, but that's not the point) and I can't seem to do it. I enter in the type of story it is and the date it was posted. I even tried typing in the dates in different ways, but that didn't work.
A little help for the ignorant, please?

Should be easy? Maybe.... but we didn't want it that easy that people could easily do it by mistake.
This is what is required:
Type of Story (as it was first posted under)
Date published (in this format - YYYY-MM-DD)
Mind trying again? I've been able to delete a few and I know of other members hightailing out of here and taking their stories with them. But there could always be a new glitch in the system...
Let us know,
do.

I just tried it a couple more times, the same way the instructions say to do it.
Still won't work.
I do realize that you put those precautions on there for a reason, but it can be a butt when it doesn't even work.  I hope it's just me being an idiot and not something all messed up.

Probably 
Just send the story details to support and we'll try. If it works you're in big trouble 
(Only joking about the idiot bit.)

Will do, just as soon as you answer one question for me (it's my idiocy showing again....).
What, exactly, are the story details?
Like I said, my idiocy is showing again. Don't hate me because I'm stupid.

Well, details like the title? <g> You say one of your stories. Presumably, there are more than one. So which one you want to cull?

Well, Incoherent Innocence needs to bite the dust. It's crappy and I know it, so bye bye to that one!
Anymore info you need?

Well, I just set my permissions as yours (just in case it was a permissions thing) and the story deleted without any problems whatsoever.
I guess it's a not following instructions thing; if you need to delete another story and still fail, send an e-mail and we'll get more details to find out exactly what you're doing wrong - this way we might be able to change the instructions to make it easier for the next bod.
But yes, deleting a story works fine without any problems.

Thanks. I dunno what I was doing wrong. I just hope I won't have to go through this all over again. I bet it was just my computer being an ass again. I swear the thing has a mind of it's own sometimes.
