JER, I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, but I'll take a stab at it.

We don't currently have a listing for stories at TD America's stage of completion, unless an admin (any admin--it doesn't require a vote) decides that it's popular enough to go on the Current Favorites list. We don't add to that list lightly, because we want to limit the number of stories on it (lest it defeat the purpose) and a story that gets on the list usually stays there until it's finished. A Current Favorite can be removed for extended inactivity (say, 5 months) if it doesn't seem likely to be resumed. To date, TDIWriter's story, Total Drama: Pacific Island is the only former Current Favorite to be removed for dormancy. Several others have been removed after being finished.

A new story usually falls off the Recently Started listing when the fifth chapter (not episode) is posted, regardless of how long that takes to happen. Current policy is that a story cannot be on both the Recently Started list and the Current Favorites list at the same time. A competition story that reaches the Final 4 (I think--it might be Final 5) can go on the Ending/Recently Ended Stories listing, where it will remain until about a month after the finale is posted. We don't limit the number of stories on the Ending or Recently Started lists.
