New deadline

OK, looks like the deadline is being moved due to real-life weirdness!

The last day to post is now June 30. Posting will close on July 01.

You all now have just over a month to finish your fanwork. Please make note of the new deadline, and good luck with finishing!

[nordipalooza]

Hi everyone. In the schedule, the final day to post is May 24th, with posts closing on May 25. But it seems like most people haven’t finished their fanworks yet, and things are kind of weird globally right now.

I’m thinking about extending the deadline. Does anybody have any input about that (new due date suggestions, etc?)

[nordipalooza]
