Ahavati said:Tomorrow we begin our registration countdown! Unless a few more who are considering put their foot down in Muddle Earth, the Fellowship consists of 29 members representing 8 countries! This is what your daily roll call will look like. It will be posted the following day once the respective team members have reported their daily checks, i.e. - April 01 will be posted April 02 and so forth.
If you see a symbol beside your name, it means you may pass that day! However, if there's an X beside your name, you may not pass that day. Double-check! If there's time to edit ( within 24 hours after you post ) then do so and the strike will disappear on the next day's roll post, and you may pass.
Remember, you only have 24 hours to edit a post. If you edit after 24 hours then you'll be adding another X. Three X's and you're out!
Any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please ask/state/share now.
^ summarizing the above in a single word:

Is this available in May 🤔
Here are the details of the challenge, but I'm not sure if after April is an option.

Not even wild, miniature Donkeys could drag me away from NaPo!

Time ALWAYS flies toward the end of March when the countdown has begun.
What to write about?!?
Well, keep in mind that if you are just winging it, we will have 30 ( mostly silly ) prompts for you to utilize.
These prompts will be published in the NaPo 2021 Stomp The Prompt Comp that also begins on April 1st. This annual comp is only for participants of the Official DU NaPoWriMo 2021 Challenge to earn a bonus Tropheee with as many of their prompt inspired entries as they can offer.
For example only, this was last years:

Fun Filled Fact
https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Quest_of_the_Ring
The Quest of the Ring was Frodo Baggins' quest to destroy the One Ring, which led him from his home in the Shire to Mount Doom in Mordor, as described in The Lord of the Rings. It began in September 3018 when Frodo set out for Imladris, which he finally reached on October twentieth. From there it took five months until the One Ring and Sauron were finally destroyed on March twenty-fifth of the next year. In total, it took 11 months, one week, and six days for the One Ring to be destroyed.
Our Fellowship of the Poem doesn't get near enough time as that! Heck, in the book, it also took Frodo And Sam 5 months to leave the Shire! Somebody contact the Script Department and see if we can get an extension!
The Beginning of the Quest
Bilbo Baggins, Frodo's uncle, left the Shire on September 22, 3001 after a party marking his 111th birthday (and Frodo's 33rd). Frodo thus inherited Bag End along with Bilbo's magic ring. Following Gandalf's advice, Frodo hid the ring in a safe place.
Sometime during the next 17 years, during a trip to Gondor, Gandalf researched what Bilbo's ring might be. After some study, and reading a scroll written by Isildur (the High King of Gondor and Arnor after his father Elendil), he concluded that the ring Bilbo had recovered from Gollum was probably the master ring which Isildur had cut from the hand of Sauron at the conclusion of the War of the Last Alliance.
On April 12th, 3018, Gandalf returned to Bag End to confirm his suspicion. After throwing the ring into a fire and then examining it, he and Frodo were able to read the inscription upon it: Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. Translated into the Common Speech that read, One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Indeed, this was the One Ring.
Realizing that Sauron would be looking for the Ring, Gandalf advised Frodo to take it with him and secretly follow Bilbo's journey to Rivendell. On the twenty-third of September 3018, Frodo left Bag End, taking Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took with him.

Thank you Johnny! I didn’t realize the lengths of time it took them to complete their journey. I was too busy wondering who I could talk to about becoming a hobbit and buying loose tea for second breakfast!
