Not meeting the deadline is a bummer and we all have managed to miss them just by a few seconds or so.I work hard to review to get my fake dollars and shucks I still mess up. The rules can be difficult because when we reserve a spot we get no refund.

Hello Lori, I'm sorry you feel cheated. Honestly, I have entered a poem past the deadline but have not had a problem. I'm not quite sure what you mean in your second paragraph - I'm lost. It's sad the way you feel. Put your problem in writing to Tom. He's always helpful - goodness knows I'm always asking for help. Warm regards Dorothy x

Me too, always asking for help. thought of telling him but decided to maintain my thoughts about those that marshall the contests. Blurting out the unjust measures taken, gives me a slight push out of the storm.
lulube, always felt that someone on the committee has it in for me. Paranoid or what?

Paranoid LOL!!! If you want a laugh at something ridiculous go in to my Portfolio and read two of my latest 'Falling Blossom' and 'The Best Made Plans.....' reviews from Alcreator Litt Dear. LOL! Someone out there does not like me LOL! I don't mind criticism and help in a review but really ...... Weird. Love Dorothy xx

Hi Lulube,
I completely get why you feel cheated and feel your frustration and annoyance. It's happened to me before and it's maddening. If a deadline has passed, why allow someone to enter, only to disqualify them because the deadline has passed... it's just not fair.
Hope writing about it has made you feel a bit better.
Good luck with this contest!
Best wishes, Debra :)
