@Neo: I didn't count Catherine and Spoon, seeing as they will only be around for SoJ3. Their impact on Katie and Rowan, however, will remain. I shall be sure of that. =)
@Nouw: The problem with my idea is that I have no artistic talent and I'm not sure I know any artists who will do this for free. I can't afford to pay for it. >.<
Though I wouldn't say that the number of threads one is in corresponds to any particular level of skill... I just like writing, and do it as often as possible.
The trick to improving one's writing talent is to do more and more writing... at least, that's what people consistently tell me. So perhaps joining open threads (good ones, mind you) is the way to go. I'm pretty sure Your Blood In My Veins is still accepting applicants, even though it's started: you'd have to ask Void about that, though.
