[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 2033257, member: 1014"] It has always been the deadline. They ran into problems with the setting search. They asked for a postmarked date and they recieved stuff from all over the world so they kept getting stuff long after they wanted to start evaluating the proposals. The "recieved by" is more iron fisted, but it helps. Sending early is very wise. Frankly, I'd want to make sure they had it by the 25th. The last thing anyone needs is even a small delay. The 26th and 27th are a weekend and WotC is not going to go out of their way to make sure they have your proposal in hand on the 1st so cutting it close makes no sense. I think I remember reading on ENWorld during the Eberron novel proposals that some people had UPS or the Post Office hand the thing over on the last possible day but it didn't get to the WotC admin. It's pretty clear that WotC isn't going to dump out their mailbox at 5pm on March 1st making sure they have everyone's proposal. [/QUOTE]
