Set 2 deadlines. The deadline for work to be received and the deadline when the work will be posted, perhaps a week apart. If work is not received by first deadline it will automatically be forfeit to sub artist who will have to finish the work by second deadline.

Also, I suggest, for ease, to start a new thread with the new Art Exchange and number it. That way it'll be easier to keep track as time passes
(Art Exchange! 2  for example)

Oh, that's an idea! I think I shall utelize this. Also, I'll probably send out reminder PMs a week or two before the deadline to people who haven't finished, yet.

Also, Jen-- the peer pressure dea would work nicely, except that there's supposed to be a surprise! element to the exchange. However, I could probably just list names without saying who they were assigned to draw for.

(And yup, that's the plan, Miniar! I agree-- all on the same board would get chaotic. XD)


Okay-- I should have the new exchange board posted as soon as I prepare a revised informative first post~

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody!

I think that would work just as well .  The other suggestions that were made were very good.

Anyone who doesn't finish by the reasonable deadline may not participate in the next exchange. The person it is being done for, if they finish, may continue to the next one but the person not finished still has to finish the first one before doing any more.
