Collabs naturally worry me because, in my experience, they have led to the downfall of RPs (due to people waiting for others, thus not being able to post, thus not progressing, this people losing interest and leaving, etc.) but with the due date on posts with these RPs that isn't a problem, plus Lady A has rules about collabs and offers extensions should things happen (like your collab partner not updating with enough time).

In terms of reading everything. I can't say I haven't been guilty of skim reading most posts (though I've been very good lately!). Part of that isn't because I'm thinking "if this doesn't involve my character, I don't wanna read it" but more because I am excited about posting and don't want to run through everything. But, ya gotta do it if you wanna know what's going on. You'd be surprised what information you get from reading through other's posts. Plus, we got some skilled writers here. It's impressive, really.
