UPDATE #3
(10.28.20)

INFORMATION

Hello everyone! Happy early Halloween! Although this holiday will be celebrated very differently this year, treat yourself to a fun night inside with lots of candy and fun Halloween/horror films/TV shows! ^^
 
Anyway, the results of the previous update's poll are in! There were some last-minute votes cast in the past 24 hours, which I hadn't expected, and thank you to everyone who voted in the poll! I really appreciate the input! ^^ And I have decided that I will keep the original deadline of November 18, 2020. However, because the vote was technically split 50-50 between keeping the original deadline and extending the deadline (irrespective of the offered new deadline dates), I will be offering month-long extensions to those who voted for an extension. Unfortunately, I can't verify who voted for which option since AFF polls don't have that function, so please use the honor system here! I trust that everyone here will play fair, so please don't break that trust! For those who voted to extend the deadline, please comment or PM me and I will grant you an extension until December 18, 2020. If you voted for the January deadline, I apologize but there wasn't enough interest for that option to rationalize extending the deadline by two months. But hopefully an extra month will still be enough! I will not be giving any extensions past December 18, so please be mindful of the time!
 
So the remaining updates will be the two-week update, the one-week update, and the three-day countdown. I've hyperlinked a timer to the deadline on the foreword, so you can use that to keep track of time and ensure that you don't accidentally miss the deadline. I will not be posting public reminders or timers for anyone with an extension, but I am willing to PM one-week reminders for this round because of the split vote. Please make sure that your wall/inbox is open if you request an extension, so I can contact you. If your profile is locked, you will not receive a reminder.
 
Anyway, please continue to write stories, submit entries, and promote the contest! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. Stay safe, stay healthy, and I'll see you in the next update!

Chapter 57: You owe us no explanation at all. But, it's really kind of you to do so. Everyone's been going through a storm of reality right now. Currently, my grandmother is in the hospital with stage 3 cancer. Although there isn't a "great" time for anyone to fall ill, now is an especially awful time. Please don't neglect your personal healing for the sake of this contest! My heart is with you, Emily :)

Chapter 57: Take all the time you need! Health and personal life come first and that's perfectly fine. No need to apologize. 😊
I hope you can get some rest, and don't forget to take care of yourself. 💕

Chapter 57: Hey, Emily. I'm so sorry to hear about the losses in your family. My condolences. I was getting worried as well when I haven't heard from you in a while. Thank you for the update and there's no need for the apologies, my friend. Family and real life comes first. I hope you're doing well too! Take care, and have fun reading the rest of the entries!

P.S. That quote at the end definitely holds true. Hang in there. <3

Chapter 56: Hello~ I just unchecked the subs access only from my entries. Apologies for the lateness. I kept forgetting to do so when I was on the computer. I hope you enjoy reading everyone's entries. Good luck with the judging and to those who entered!

Chapter 56: Hello there, just dropping by to say that I get so giddy whenever I see this story thread updated even if I didn't join the competition. I would love to be a part of round 12! I only hoped that I discovered this way earlier. What I'm trying to say is, thank you for hosting this contest. Aff community is fun with the likes of you. ♡
