If you do not turn in a drabble, we will assume you are using your skip. If you have used your skip and do not turn in a drabble, you will be dropped from the current round of challenges.
If we calculated the numbers correctly, and no one drops prematurely, the Grand Finale Challenge will take place the second Saturday of November.
