What's against the guidelines is posting an unfinished chapter, not an unfinished story. As long as the chapter you have up is nice and complete, it's not breaking any rules. It would be kind of mean to punish people for not completing a story, haha.
The lounge section is more for advice giving/sharing than anything, and having people read through your first chapter just to give you some advice on how to continue wouldn't really validate the move. Now creating a thread asking for advice on planning stories would definitely go in the lounge, but since your thread is a story thread, there would have to be a very good reason to get moved to the lounge.
