The "3 Size" Limit

I'm a new player that has (already) made three AE stories... and while they're hardly perfect, I'm quite proud of each of them.

The flaw is, I STILL want to make more missions, as I enjoy the process so very much. I suppose I could just make them on local and merely test them, but I'm not sure what to do next:

1. Wait to see if on is "promoted" to a choice arc, freeing up a slot (given the number of missions out there, not too likely.)

2. Delete one from the "published" side, and add one of my new ones.

3. Unpublish one of the stories to promote a new one. All of my stories have been played 1-2 times, but that's it. If you unpublish, what are the consequences? Is the worst that happens is that I "lose my stars"? Or is there a major penalty for republishing the same story over and over?

Thoughts?

As far as I know of, there is no penalty for unpublishing and republishing an arc, apart from losing the ratings, unless you unpublished it because it was banned.

You can buy up to five more story slots. I did. I typically have five or six "official" stories, a work in progress, and a more or less personal testing ground. Before more slots were made available, I routinely rotated stories.
