I think most of them just spend too much time in spaces where the majority opinion is that you should tailor a fic as closely to the recip's prompts as humanly possible and forget that most exchange participants aren't actually going to sweat over it that much.

Agreed.

My last 3 Yuletides it's like my assigned writer didn't even look at my letter at all.

(At least I got a great treat last year so it's not like all was lost.)

I vote for it to be the other way round, most exchange participants should spend MORE time in spaces where the majority opinion is that you should tailor a fic! Dang I wish so many of them didn't miss this point.
