Wah! My dearest apologies! I have been so extremely busy with school (I'm currently on an exchange program for the year) that I haven't been on deviantART for a while. Several of the last swaps had to be cancelled due to a lack of interested participants, which is a shame considering, like you said, that it used to be so lively.
I would be more than willing to hand the group over to somebody interested in starting it back up, I'm just really unable to carry on with all the things in my life at the moment! My apologies again!
