Currently in a bit of a pickle right now.

So, as my title says, I'm in a situation and I don't know what to do.

I've started writing on this account about two weeks ago and far I'm aiming to improve on various aspects. No problem with that. I'm trying stuff out and I thought that this was my first true story. Not some draft I had aimlessly wrote at 2AM.

But I had another, more recent account I had to forget about because of personal problems. I rediscovered it while looking through some mail.
And the problem is that I already had a draft of a story on that account, and these drafts were already published.
(like twelve chapters-worth of content.)
It was honestly more like of a random idea than a proper story, but some people seemed to like my drafts and I had lots of stuff ready, ideas to turn this into something more... To improve this skeleton of a novel.

Now I don't know what to do. Should I regroup the published draft of a story and the other one on the same account ? Should I showcase the second novel with this forum account ?
Are those things even allowed ? Should I focus on a single story ? Or should I split between ? Considering some loyal readers were still waiting for new releases ?

What would you do ? I welcome all kind of advice.

PS: @MiStraaL was this other account. (not forum account)
Hateful world and burning memories.
If you wish to check out the story drafts.

Not exactly sure what the problem is - that account is also on this site? Maybe you could have the story moved over to this one if you want to return to it some day? Or do you want to sever all association with it?

It is on the website. I just don't know if I can put the work in this forum bio or advertise it as mine. Since technically we're different entities, and I have no real proof other than my word and editing my bios

Ah, well, do you still have access to that one? I'd suggest just keeping it. If you feel like going back to that story, then do so, and if not, just don't sweat it. Also include a link to that account's main page in your bio with a note "If you want to see my earlier, less polished work" on it (and a link back to your new one on the old one).
