last year the ladies that do HauteMacabre.com blog set up a swap online here is what happened. Everyone that I dealt with kept up with what they promised, but I heard there were some that never sent anything out. So, the only thing you could do is make sure that everyone knows that while we can do our best to keep everything running smooth, there is a chance that some people will be jerks.

An alternative possibility is to implement a swapping system similar to that of www.craftster.org, and keep track of people who flake, so that if there are future swaps planned (versus doing one huge swap, we could have monthly swaps with rotating swap leaders), we have a going record of people to *NOT* include. By doing this, you can set up the angel system like craftster has, and in that way everyone involved will still be able to get something, even if the other person did not send.
