Just need some clarification here, please.
Two of my stories are being edited and will likely be replaced, soon. In the past I've just pasted the edited version into the box and deleted the old one. Is that the prefered way to do it?
I've belatedly discovered that these two stories are actually related to a much larger story that I've been pecking away on for some years. And, should this body remain inhabited by my soul long enough, my intention is to self publish this in General Public on Amazon or someplace. It is my understanding that to self publish, I need to remove the story from BCTS?
The story, now a book, will contain eight or more other stories I have written but not published here, and spans about 400 years in a post apocalyptic, space colonization tale. At present, it looks like the book will be around 300+ pages (500 words per page). The work is about half complete at present, though it is anyone's guess as to when it will be finished. There was some thought about self publishing it as 8 or 10 smaller books, but I don't like that idea, though it would likely be on BCTS that way.
The book is not TG, though one of the protagonists is XXY intersex and has that corrected in cutting edge gene editing. Following my usual practice, the story is family friendly, featuring some characters that are good arabs and and friendly aliens. Science purists, will find their keying fingers itching to correct my goofy physics.
Please wish me luck

You may or may not need to remove the story from BCTS.
If you choose to register your book with the Amazon KDP Select program, which makes it available for borrowing via Kindle Unlimited, among other things, then it may not be available anywhere else. In this case you need to remove it from BCTS while it is in this program. See https://www.justpublishingadvice.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-am...
If you choose to not use the Select program and just register with Kindle Direct Publishing then you can make your book available elsewhere, including making it available for free here.
Note that if you choose the Select program then you will probably earn less if I, as a Kindle Unlimited reader, borrow the book instead of buy the book. When I borrow and read it you will typically get around 4.3 cents per Kindle page, up to the last page read. In other words, if I buy the book, open it, go to the last page and read it then you get paid for all of the pages, even though I haven't read most of them. How much you get per page varies, depending on how many people had a Kindle Unlimited membership that month and how many Kindle pages were read that month.
