Do you delete your old Stories?

Hello,

I was just wondering how many of you go back to your old threads and edit out your story material. This was a helpful idea I picked up from WordWeaver, despite our differences. Thank you WordWeaver.
One of the administrators said that this was actually a good practice. Just curious if anyone else did this.

I did... once. But let us never speak of it again.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It kinda depends on the story, on whether I think I might have any future plans for it, how insecure I feel about it, and even, to some extent, how it was recieved. Usually it's a moot point, though, because nobody reads my trash anyway, so it hardly matters

Sometimes, if I can't think of anything else to put in the story, I will delete it off the computer, but sometimes I might pull out an old one and I will do more work on it.

Why? Of course, I don't have anything old enough to need deleting, so my "no" may not be a relevant answer to your question.

I actually started work on an old story just recently. I wrote it ages ago, and I am currently re-working it to make it good.
Actually, I'm currently writing a story that is based a different two I wrote a while ago, this time as a competition with my friend. Heh-heh-heh. What an idiot...

Nope: Too lazy. And I've never posted anything I thought of any worth.

I don't delete.

I've only started writing so my creations are still.... not so good. But it's sometimes good to go back and read them again. Makes you humble.

Chris Miller does, and I wish he'd quit it.

I don't. I mainly post in the Workshop, so I don't feel there's any need (Workshop supposedly automatically deletes after a certain time anyway, which works great for forgetful writers like m'self).
