31_days | IMPORTANT MOD POST & POLL -- AMNESTY DAY

Hello! This is your friendly neighborhood mod here. I know we don't make mod posts very often in this comm but I wanted to address something I've been pondering for awhile.

One of

31_days's quirks is its 24-hour deadline. However, I know that what happens a lot is that people go on vacations, or think two days later 'augh, that would have been perfect', or even just plain miss the date.

So what I'm considering is an "Amnesty Day" on the last day of every month where, in addition to writing for that day's theme, you can post pieces written for any other prompt during the month. I think this is a fun idea that would encourage creativity and liven things up a little. However, I know that the road goes both ways; some people say that the 24-hour deadline keeps them from procrastinating, and the immediacy of 'move it or lose it' really gets their creative juices flowing.

Since this is a democratic comm, and its result ultimately affects you guys most, here's a little poll. If you have any questions as to how Amnesty Day would be conducted, please comment to this post!
