I found it, Aelyah - - your post regarding your first three entries was entered on the 19th of October-- the latest join date is October 3rd because the spirit of the prep is to reinforce the "Write every day" aspect; being able to jump in any day of the month would be a little unfair to the people who have been on board for the whole run.

That said, you're well inside the window to join us this year! Make your first post by the 3rd of October and stay within three days of current posts, and it'll be smooth sailing.

edit: beat'd by Michelle, but in my defense, I was posting from my phone at the time.
