Would you consider holding an amnesty period on occasion? I'm sure there are people out there who couldn't finish something for a theme on time, and it would help people who normally can't take part because they're too busy during weekdays. I don't think you'd have to have voting for amnesty either, since I know most of my motivation in taking part in this challenge is the fun of it, but it would be up to you to decide how you do it, if you wanted to do it, of course ^_^

Even if you're not interested in it, could we post late submissions to the ao3 collection anyway?
