Jump in, DCLXVI. If Viddax was late ( deadline was March 30 ) and gets to participate then so do you. You do; however, need to register properly here to ensure you've read the rules. I'll add you to the list asap.
But March hath 31 days!? Apologies; life was rather busy! Nice to be back in the NaPo club and savouring the experience.

Yes, but it's clearly written that you have until March 30th because the team needs March 31st to get their shit together. It's no biggie, we still don't have our shit together.
Anyone else who wants to jump in TODAY ONLY, feel free.

Ha ha, no idea when I'll have my shit together! I started writing something, found it utterly out of keeping with Day 1, so had to scrap it and start again!

I had my doubts there for a few days, but it seems things are falling into place! You know what they say! The worst the rehearsal the better the opening!

They got there before me, but you did brilliantly! You numbered and titled your poem correctly, and followed the rest of the rules as far as I can see. Yep, just click the reply button, and copy and paste your poem into the box. :)

Wow! So pleasantly surprised! With the site closing, I honestly didn't think we'd have these many participants! Way to stand for poetry, all! We have one MIA and two who need to correct their mistakes within 24 hours before receiving the dreaded X!
From what I've managed to read thus far, the entries are excellent! I'll try to get to everyone asap!
Thank you all for hanging tough to the very end with us! I know it means a lot to Webmiss, as she personally told me that the site closing date was scheduled so that NaPo could have one final hurrah!

I'm pleasantly surprised as well. So many entries, and I'm loving reading them.
