No real complaints, but I like velvetmouse's idea. I've had this problem, as an artist not an author, where the claiming is taking place at a time that I don't have good web access and I haven't had any opportunity to plan ahead. It can be really hard for people who aren't in an ideal timezone, too. Knowing what your faves are early enough to ask for them, as well as having a backup plan, is pretty important for a good BB experience, I think.

Also, not positive that I'll be able to participate since I'm modding my own Big Bang at roughly the same time (our posting is mid-May)... maybe if we moved the due dates a litle further into summer?
