Hi there everyone- I want to start out by apologizing for going MIA especially during my active contest, Once Upon a Genre. 
          	
          	I have recently been experiencing some tough times/ rough patches in life which has caused me to have to temporarily step away from Wattpad. 
          	
          	While I am so grateful and appreciative that I was allowed the space/ time I needed, I wanted to provide some updates;
          	
          	I will continue the reading / reviewing the stories in the unfinished categories. It will have to be at an extremely slow pace as I am still facing personal issues. I want to set a deadline to finish the contest by the end of November (we will see). BUT your stories deserve to HEARD, READ, and LOVED therefore I still want to read all of them.
          	
          	
          	Please continue to allow me some time and I promise to provide more updates as I move through :)

CONTEST OFFICIALLY CLOSED! We have finally filled the Mystery Category. Thank you to all the entries- I am looking forward to reading your stories.
          
          I am already working on reading the romance entries, just give me some time as these are a bit longer of stories

Once Upon A Genre Contest Update:
          
          If entering- PLEASE read through all the pages of the contest before entering. I have a few people just categorizing their stories randomly. 
          
          This contest has only 4 categories that you are able to enter for- if your story does not fit in the category please do not enter (I will have other contests with more categories in the future!)

UPDATE: Thriller has 3/4 entries and romance has 2/4 entries
          
          **to incentivize filling this contest: if you refer someone and they enter I will rate/review your story no matter if you win or lose
            - this gives you some feedback and attention to your story :)
