Oh no, it's fine, it's just easier in future if people could do this so I don't have to sift through the thread.

Plus, the deadline was changed a few days ago, not this evening, so it wouldn't have been hard to check for updates.

I'm quite eager to get on with it.

Yes it is, because you've had a week to think about it.

In any case it doesn't matter, I'm sure there'll be other competitions. (Swearing in the last post probably made me look more pissed off by it than I was.)

Some of these are extremely impressive, and a very good effort made by almost everyone. The response to this has been great, considering.

(I'll also chime in with those who cringed as they read theirs. Nevermind.)

I was going to suggest a mass quote of everyone who submitted a poem (so that those who are slacking with their votes are not humiliated for their tardiness), but that is probably a better idea.
