I know it wasn't your intention, but that's how it can be perceived since you didn't originally link the original. So, thank you for doing that now. However, I feel like you should add a disclaimer that said these chapters were in fact originally posted in "The Humiliation of Katie" chyoa and were mostly written by Unitman2 since it isn't obvious on the introduction chapter and the description of the story you posted.
I understand what you wanted to do, and these chapters do lend themselves to a separate story, buthere is some advice for you and anyone else who wants to repost stories:
In this community of writers, it's always best to ask permission of the original author and give credit if you're going to repost their work anywhere. It's not just so writers get credit, it's also so they can keep track of where their work goes, so if someone were to post their work to a pay site or someone copied the text and sold it as an e-book, they would have an idea where the leak came from.
Even though it's highly unlikely writers would care about stories posted one short chapter at a time on a free interactive story site, it's a courtesy to the writers to give them a head's up instead of letting them find it on their own.
