I'm really trying to wrap things up on a positive note. I'll have to figure out how to do that, but plot dust bunnies are niggling at my mind... Mordor is in for beta tonight, so far I'm keeping up :-) Make room for those stamps, Dawn, I'm going to finish all 31!

Goodness, only one more day left! Thank you all so much for hosting this; it's been a lot of fun! Everything has been fantastic, and I really appreciate everything you've done. I can't think of all the work the stamps, passports, posts, and just everything must have been

So here's my penultimate poem:

Yes! This'll work perfectly with an idea I was toying with that'll be matched to another prompt. *dances in joy*

Well this one was easy to write. So now just another 10 prompts to go - that may be very late but will be written - probably in a fortnight when i finish term finally.

Up to 30 are finished!!! I just need to catch up on MPTT posting!

[(Anonymous)]

And I may need to rewrite 30, or do something else...I'm not sure what my brain was doing. :-/ I don't think it's very good. :-(

The prompt for 31 isn't up at MPTT. Is that an April Fools joke?

I just noticed I commented anonymously before :( (although I did sign my post) and being screened, it hasn't shown up. Sorry...that was not intended as any sort of April Fools joke (although I think my LJ was playing one on me, by logging me out). What I basically said was,

I've written up through 30, though I'm not happy with 30 and may need to rewrite it. The prompt for 31 wasn't up at MPTT when I looked. Is that an April Fools joke?

Erm, I think I am down a few stamps - I can only count 26 on mine (admittedly it's a bit full, so I did do a couple of recounts) and I did do all 31, honest!
