As an aside, how long do you wait for a gift in a small exchange? I got a "sweet, thanks!" on the story I wrote the other day, which is typical for that recip so I'm not paranoid about the fic, and no gift for me has materialized. I'm not inclined to even inform the mod, who must already know. If nothing shows up, *shrugs*, eh.

I won't do this particular exchange again, though, for both those reasons.

If a collection has already revealed and I had no gift, I'd chalk that one up to a lesson learned on why tumblr exchanges are a bad idea.

I wouldn't do an exchange that didn't guarantee a gift for someone who completed their assignment to requirements. Not happening, period, end of story.

If I were participating in an exchange and for some reason I did not receive a gift despite completing my assignment to requirements, I would go to the mods immediately upon reveals, if not earlier. If the mods didn't immediately put me out to EPH, I'd be naming and shaming that exchange and the mod(s) everywhere.

I suppose what I'm saying is: name and shame, coalie. Name and shame.

I’m currently scrambling to try to finish a fic for an exchange I tried to default in but there didn’t seem to be a pinch hit and the collection is revealed, so now I feel bad my recip didn’t get any exist and am going to make it happen? Never again on a tumblr exchange. I needed that default, it was a emergency type situation.

Basically, yeah. +1 on bad modding.
