If anyone could dabble around a bit and figure things out, that would be great!

I think that's the long and short of it. I signed up for an account yesterday and it did warn me that anything I write can be edited and, as such, does not belong to me. The warnings were pretty clear that if I was posting something on the site I was giving up creative control of it to the unwashed masses.
The only way around it I can see is that we form a group, using this thread as our base of operations, designed to protect the stories as best we can. We would have to take backups of stuff that we'd written and keep them compiled somewhere else, so that way if somebody comes along and destroys everything we can just copy and paste back to where we were. Likewise we'd have to come to group decisions to see if an added chapter is in-keeping with the theme of the story or needs to be overwritten / removed.
...which is an awful lot of work for a group of people who just want to write stories about women who take off their clothes at the wrong time / place.
