What each status means and how requests move through the pipeline.

Status reference

Open for VotesYour request is on the public list! Others can now vote to show their interest. You can no longer edit it (because others voted based on your description).

In ProgressSomeone is actively working on adding this right now.
CompletedThe content has been added to OpenFiction! You'll see a link to view it.
Not ListedYour request wasn't added to the public voting list. This might be because it needs more detail, is a duplicate, or doesn't fit OpenFiction's scope. Check the feedback from the curator.
WithdrawnYour request was removed from the public list. This can happen if it was merged with a similar request or circumstances changed.
DeclinedWe've decided not to add this content. The request is removed from the public list but you can still see the reason on your requests page.
