on the author's side, things like deleting or locking them, or editing them heavily post-reveals, or putting in weird author's notes downplaying the prompt, or shifting things around between accounts so you are or aren't associated with certain gifts, or getting mad that they got another similar exchange fic from someone else, or retroactively making them part of your ongoing WIP, things like that. You know, the stuff that coal would endlessly argue about if someone brought it up here.
and the inverse on the recip's side: throwing a fit because your author made edits, or demanding an eph for a perfectly good fic that followed your DNWs, or getting mad because they wrote a sequel without your permission, or they wrote something similar in another exchange, or sending them hate because they deleted their entire AO3, or that kind of thing.
Basically just be normal about the fact that somebody wrote a fan fiction to somebody else's prompt and then posted it in public? That one should be pretty easy to manage and yet.
I've seen people get really intense about it either because it's "their" gift and how dare the author change literally anything about it, their gifts page is sacred. Or more generally because it makes it hard to obsess over the exchange history of people you might want to game in the vicinity of.
