Since you like the Draconion Method, I think I know what you'll say to this, but just in case you're not as predictible as all that...
I ran an exchange in a small corner of a big fandom. Everyone did WONDERFULLY, getting things in or at least letting me know that it was coming in the next day or two.
Except the person who had my request.
How do you suggest, as a mod, that you go "Hey slacker, where's my f---ing story!". I've got no problem going to bat for anyone else in the exchange, but I couldn't seem to find a way to phrase the "hey slacker!" letter without sounding all "It's all about MEEEEE! I managed this whole thing so someone would write for MEEEE!" about it.
(BTW, this person did eventually come through, but I'm still curious how you or others would handle something like this.)
