Yeah, that's definitely been an issue in the past. I'm trying to come up with a backup option if someone commits to make banners for a certain week and then disappears--I'm not at all good at bannermaking, but if I have the time, I might be able to make some simple backup banners to post myself. It's frustrating to have them promised and not get them, and I don't want to have that be a regular thing, so I won't be confirming any bannermakers for challenges until I know what I'll do in the event that they can't do that week.

Fair enough! I really like badly_knitted's suggestion of a weekly chat post, if there's an interest in conversation outside of fic comments--it'd certainly be a lot easier for me to keep track of.
