I have a question. What happens if during this process of the story contest a story is continued and the next chapter is written? You see, my story has been nominated, and I am almost complete with chapter 2. Will that change anything?

I second Time to Take out the Trash and For Better or for Worse. They are both very good so far, though if I made a choice right now it'd be Time to take out trash because for Better or Worse is just beginning, but that might change soon. Good luck to everyone, all of the stories nominated that I've read are extremely good and are better than 99% of the stories from the past 5 rounds. I won't second the English front because I haven't read it yet, so I'm not sure how good it is.
