1. Yes, though I am usually a big old wreck about it.
2. I think drop-outs depend on reason. I mean, like, if RL dropped something crazy a week before the dealine, see, I'm the kind of writer (in all contexts) that needs the press of the dealine to make sense. So probably I don't have most of a fic ready a week ahead. Rarely do I do something I feel good about from an assignment without that press there. So I'd think that was different than me getting my assignment and hating it and being all WAH about it for 2 months and then bailing November 5 on my November 16 deadline. You know? But I also think it's really, really up to the mod to have rules and stick to them or not. Smutmas is the one whose rules I'm clearest on atm, and it says if you bail, you can't play next time. That's fine, and I also expect if I got hit by a car a week before the due date, Gina wouldn't probably ban me next year. Or she might, and I would not complain about that because I did read the rules.
3. I don't mind pinch-hitting (see comments above on pressure need). I love that people are willing. I love also that people are willing to really try to stalk journals and find out what people would like and get in the spirit of making it a gift. :D
4. I don't have a favorite. I liked things about lots of them!
