I didn't think it was meh, I tried my best, which is obviously not good.

Did you look at your recip's past comments to see if they're usually just restrained in commenting?

The worst though is when you look and see that someone usually gives paragraphs of comment and then you get the "I love this fandom, the character I requested is my favorite" kiss of death.
