Yeah, I've done Yuletide since year two and I've never once received something that wasn't shippy. It probably helps that I interpret shipfic very generously, and that my letter is very enthusiastic about what I like.
To be honest, any complete ODAO (by which I don't mean ignoring my prompts, which is perfectly fine, but going against the gist of my preferences) would ruin my exchange - but that hasn't happened to me in 50+ exchanges. Not even the socktopus managed to do fuck up that badly!
