If you game towards good eggs this will hardly ever happen. That is why I strongly prefer good eggs to be the load bearing participants who can have multiple people signed up to write for them: they will make their gifters happy.
I always try and game towards good eggs, and usually I am successful. But bad eggs have a nasty habit of last-minute sign ups because they know exactly what they are doing.
I’ve never written CCOF outside of Bulletproof, but in multifandom drabble exchange I got assigned someone who said Any Character for a very large fandom (and in that exchange, Any Character really means ANY in the canon) and I briefly looked at their bookmarks and works to see what they like but ended up taking their word for it that they’ll enjoy anything, wrote something based on their listed vague likes, and got a positive response
