So it's generally what, ~50-60 people going out in the main post-deadline PH batch? (I am not on the PH list so I can't check the exact number.) But you have to assume there's also some other folks who got defaulted on and didn't go out to PHs because they already had a treat, or a mod or someone snagged them before they went out, or they were a defaulter themselves, or they were double-assigned and their other writer came through. So the actual number of writers defaulting at the deadline would be somewhere above the number of PHs sent.
I think you're right -- 100 is too high -- but I suspect the number of writers blowing the deadline is closer to 70 than it is to 12. As for how many of those 70 or so intended to post, well, that's harder to judge.
Nobody commented to the DW post to say they missed the deadline. Six people on the LJ post said they missed the deadline (without intending to). So it's somewhere around 10%, but hard to judge exactly.
