I just now saw this!
I love Swamped and I am not sorry.
I will say that suggestions are still just that, and they can be ignored or picked from at the author's will. Swamped has the difficulty of only having 1-3 suggestions at a time. And DF has that unique quality in an author that tries to incorporate whatever the readership suggests, regardless of what direction the story may be going. (With the exception of a few early jokey moments).
More folks should suggest in swamped! There's a constant need to develop character backgrounds, relationships, and events. I see it a fun excersize in connecting characters. Maybe this person mentioned 20 updates ago has some talents useful to this situation? or maybe we're about to run into a new character who has been acting in the background this entire time? The daily update schedule really lets readers influence the world building in a way few other adventures have.
