Yeah, sorry :( I haven't heard anything back at all. You can try to contact them directly and see if they're still up to writing for your prompt? Unfortunately apart from the blacklist, there isn't any way for the mods to enforce that everyone fills their prompts by the deadline.
I think you guys did an awesome job running this show and even though all the prompts didn't get filled, which is disappointing, quite a few of the prompts were filled gloriously, which counts for something too. A clarification though: was the aim to fill 5 prompts? or was it to fill as many as you could up to 5? Because I know for me, I live on the opposite side of the world so when prompt claims were being done, I was sleeping and didn't have very many to choose from, but I still filled 5 even though they weren't all really my fandoms. And could you've filled more than 5 prompts? Seeing those 40 odd unfulfilled prompts is kind of sad.
The aim was to fill as many prompts as you could. It started a lot more strict, with the minimum requirement being to fill five, but because of the wide range of fandoms and the fact that non-participants can also claim prompts, I decided to make the rules more lax. I know there were a quite a few people who were nice enough to do more than five.
Ultimately the goal of the challenge was to get everyone's inbox as full as possible, even if it involved stepping out of your preferred fandom/pairing for a while. I understand that the claims process wasn't perfect (there's always a few time zones that get the short end of the stick!), and we are looking for suggestions to improve upon it.
Feel free to pick up any of the unfilled prompts and write for them? Since the challenge is over, all of them are up for grabs again, although I will not be updating the masterlist anymore. But I think the inbox owners would still appreciate the fics :)
