I absolutely love the ability to edit my stories as easily as we can on BC.
I wonder if all writers are aware they can edit their stories once they're posted.
Most of my stories have been edited dozens of times after I've posted them. I learn something new about writing almost every day and try to keep my stories updated to reflect what I now know.
The last few days I've been editing "Danny's Perdition" and just finished. It's a story set in the 23rd century, but is based on a poem written in the 14th century. Some have told me it's a Divine Comedy.

Oh Yes
Trust me, I am well aware of it, abusing the right to do so far too often.

I need to take advantage of it
There are a few of my stories that could most definitely use a quick going-over and cleanup. Just like you, I'm constantly learning new things about writing and story structure, and my earlier works could really be improved by going back and applying those things to them.
On the other hand, my posting is slow enough as is -- if I were to get caught up editing my older stories, I'd be even slower!

I've been known...
to edit a posting or two (or more, but let's not go into that)... I've not posted any "complete" re-writes as yet, though the thought has crossed my mind.
I've thought about adding a comment of my own - when I've edited - listing any "significant" edits (stuff other than spelling or punctuation errors fixed), but, I dunno if that helps or not.
The "edit" link is very useful for scraping pie off of one's face! On comments too!
