The one thing I do have a big concern with is the addition of any big fandom. (like QAF - a small fandom like Anita Blake is fine) If you added something the size and expected participation that a QAF Secret Santa Swap would have, I believe it would might overwhelm the LOTR side of it, which is I believe the main point of this? The swap unites us and adding severely conflicting interests would be more dividing than helpful.
I would not join the yahoo group unless I absolutely had to in order to participate, either, but that falls to personal preference more than any real reason, I guess?
I would also agree with the votes for blacklisting and banning writers who have failed to turn in assignments without a good cause (up to the mods). Maybe should they desire to try again later a recommendation is required?
That being said, I love the swap as it is already (the way the requests are handled in particular, the word limit, etc) even though I spend 99.999999% of the time I have the assignment cursing it, LOL. I greatly appreciate the effort that you guys put into this to make it work.
