You made me curious! Not enough to go back through my entire gifts page but, of the last 25:

* they are split exactly 50/50 whether I even remembered getting them at all (this may have as much to do with other shit going on at the time as fic quality. but it does say something about how much I care about what's on my gifts page...)

* Of the assignment-fills:
3 were very bad and only just barely not EPH-qualifying, but they aren't DNWs and I think they were all sincere attempts so I didn't refuse them.
6 were bad but not standout bad.
11 were perfectly fine, enjoyed them, left a sincerely enthusiastic comment, but not standout in any way or enough my thing that they're any sort of favorites (but some of them *were* deeply beloved by other people so I consider that a good outcome anyway).
4 are favorites.
1 was transcendentally good.

So the odds of something really good are about 1 in 5, the odds of something notably bad are a bit under 2 in five, the odds of fine but unremarkable are a bit over 2 in 5, and well over half were fun to get. Not quite as good as yours but not super far off. But definitely not high enough that it would be worth doing exchanges if I cared about getting a good fic enough to give a crap about a replacement for a bad one.
