That's fair enough. I'm of two minds regarding the de-anoning thing because of [boring rant about how FFA and coal approach anonymity I can't be bothered to retread right now], but I agree they probably should have been more careful.
So the artist didn't leap on it at once - they claimed it after giving other exchange participants every possible opportunity to step up as well.
I don't see how this is mutually exclusive with biting off more than they could chew. They could have claimed half of it, or less. Made the job easier for other PHers. Or, hell, the collection could have been delayed further. It wouldn't be ideal, but that's the way it's supposed to work, right? PHs linger until the person who can fill them comes along. Not until one of the artists passing by decides to just make kittyart.
And I'm even condemning kittyart as a whole. I've received some I quite enjoyed. But it does feel a bit hollow and I hate the idea of getting kittyart in every exchange where I request art and linger long enough as a PH, you know?
