October Novel Prep Challenge

There is no rush! I noticed that I and 4 others are listed on the entry log as "October eligible" - meaning we are eligible for the points and prizes for completing our assignments but these haven't been awarded yet?

I hope I can be taken at face value when I report that my last 2 assignments were delayed because I was taken into hospital on 30 Oct and was too disorientated to think or see straight for the next 3 days!

I also noticed that this group was founded in 2008. So it won't go away at the end of this year, after the editing month? There will be 9 months from Jan through Sep 2013 to tie up loose ends and do everything else?
