<Snipped quote by Odin>

Also a fair point, although I've only ever had a very small handful of instances where people didn't make the deadline, and that was almost always because they either started their sheet too late, couldn't think of ideas to flesh it out, or life came up.

The only one I can relate to is life coming up, in which case I'd probably ask myself if I wanted to get involved if my life is so hectic that I don't have an hour to kill and a CS to write. Other than that -> if you can't think of ideas, then you're probably not that inspired by the RP, and that's probably a bad sign from the start, and if you started too late, then as a GM I can only assume that to be a reoccurring theme.
