It seems my stories have stopped being posted? Last week a chapter of an on going story was posted daily, and now nothing since last Friday is their somewhere i can email to get some help/answers?
I have noticed that the new stories have dropped on over the last couple of nights. So, yes the contest will take priority until it is over. Just wait a while and it will appear as a new story and leave your pending tab.
Of course, as always, if you edit/click on the pending story and submit it, it will be pushed back to the end of the queue and this might mean that a chapter could be published out of order.
