Julia, I don't have any advice about the whole ff.net thing, except that it is true that if you try to delete a final chapter, it deletes the whole thing. I was about to delete a final chapter once when the li'l message popped up, warning me that the whole story would go bye-bye! Needless to say, I got the heck outta there @ that point.
However, I did want to sympathize with you on the whole rereading old fic concept. Oy! Back b/f my GG days, I wrote General Hospital fanfic. My first two stories... well, I knew they were bad, so it's okay that I go back and read them now and see that they were, indeed, BAD! However, then I wrote my epic. Twenty-five chapters, plus an epilogue. When I wrote that story I was sooo proud of it... then a couple of months ago, I started rereading parts of it. It was awful. I'm almost ashamed that people ever read it. It is mind-boggling to think about the fact that these people claimed to enjoy it. Awful. Maybe it had something to do with the necessary soapiness... nah, it was just my writing. LOL!
Anyway, I feel your pain. I just hope I never go back and read DB and realize it sucks royally. That would break my heart. LOL! *pats DB on head*
