A quick question for a befuddled writer...

[rsasai.livejournal.com]

I hope this doesn't bother anyone, but I had a quick question about FFn that I'm hoping someone can help me with. It ties into FFn being sucky about explaining things, so I guess it is considered a bit of a rant. 

I have a story and it has about 100 chapters... I've been writing it for about 5 years and have been updating and editing the chapters. What I'd like to do is start putting the chapters together and make them into about 40 chapters rather than this ridiculous amount of chapters. What happens if I do this? What will happen to my hits and my reviews?

I sent FFN a letter, but they've got other stuff on their mind (as the stats keep breaking anyway...) and never got back to me. Either way, I'm frustrated. 

So, can anyone help me?
