1.) Are you generally satisfied or unsatisfied with the fics you submit? Explain.
Satisfied. I try a lot harder when I'm writing a gift fic. So far, everything I've written for fic exchanges has been something I'm really happy with. Especially the ones that were subjects I never would have written otherwise.
2.) How do you think the drop-outs (last minute or otherwise) and the complainers (those who are unsatisfied with their assignments and bitch to the hostess) should be handled?
I agree with others who have said that it really depends on the reason for the drop out. I don't think anyone signs up for a fic exchange with the intention of dropping out, but people who just flake out of laziness or something equally inexcusable should probably not be allowed to participate again. Honestly, I think complainers suck. I see it as being just as tacky as bitching about not liking what you got in a secret santa gift exchange at the office. If you're in it for the getting and not the giving, you should really rethink participating at all.
3.) What are your thoughts on pinch-hitting? (writing a fic last minute emergency fic)
I think people who offer to do this are great! I've never volunteered to pinch hit because my life isn't conducive to doing something like this on a short deadline, but I think the people who can do it are pretty amazing.
4.) And lastly, what has been your favorite fic exchange and why?
Oh, man. I don't even know. I've loved all the exchanges I've participated in. Some of my favorite things I've ever read have been written for me in fic exchanges and I've been really happy with what I've written for them, too.
