This is true! :) One nice thing about the claiming process is that you know which artists are still into the challenge, and which ones signed up and aren't that into it.

I'm really excited to see everything that comes out of this challenge. I will click on every last piece of art, and last year I did try to read all the stories. I didn't succeed- there were too many that just weren't my interest- but I did try, and a read at least one fic I might not have read otherwise. (There are two left I still want to actually read.) I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
