Ooof. We might be going into the final days, but this prompt is not an easy one. Thinking...thinking... I'll think of something. Days 24 & 25 and in beta and day 26 is next...

Dawn, is there a deadline for finishing these? I intend to complete the whole month, but as you can tell I'm behind...

[dawn_felagund]

Not at all! We're happy to keep stamping as long as people want to keep writing. :) The only thing that I'm telling participants who are continuing is that we may not be as fast to add new stamps as we were.

Several of us, actually, are doing a BB2MeM--Belated Back to Middle-earth Month--over the summer, since we weren't able to this March. So really and truly, we don't believe in deadlines! :)
