Hi, I started a storygame on here several months ago. It was never made public, just a work in progress.

I wanted to come back to keep working on it, but I can't remember what account it was under. I tried everything I could think of. Then I tried making a few new accounts, hoping to figure out which account I had by testing which new accounts could be made--but every new account I tried was successfully created, indicating that no previous accounts exist under those names.

Do old accounts get deleted? If my account was deleted, would the story that I had started under that account have been deleted, too? I really liked that story...

Are there any other account recovery tools I could use?

Alternately, is there an administrative staff who might be able to help me recover my story if I can give them the title of it? I tried emailing using the "Contact Us" link, but the email form broke when I tried to submit it...

Why do you have several accounts? I only ever use them when they are required for a forum game.

I think either "The Council" or 3J can help you find it.

The power to delete accounts was removed during one of AlexP's updates, it hasn't been deleted. If you can provide a name we can search for it, but the searching mechanisms here are kinda screwy.

That explains a lot, actually.

What was the name of your old story?

Thanks for your attention, everyone. Sorry to have not stayed on top of this right away. I tend to work in bursts and be very absentminded in the meantime.

The name of my old story was A Healer's Promise, or maybe just Healer's Promise. I didn't have so much done on it, but I really liked what I did have.

Thanks for all the answers, and thanks in advance for any future help you can give. I feel very stupid that I lost my old account. Thanks again =)

Yes! That was it! Right... now I remember. For some reason I decided to make up a new username this time, rather than using one of my standard ones. My bad. I'm checking and... yes, I do remember the password. I'm in! Story recovered!

Thank you all for your help. This issue is now resolved.
