I've had extremely mixed luck with PHers who picked up my fandom for the PH, ranging from AI fic (yes, really) to "the PHer clearly gave the canon and honest shake but didn't vibe with it and the resulting fic shows it", to "the PHer loved it and now they offer it regularly".

I should say I do an above-average number of so some of my rare fandoms spend a lot of time on the PH list, and my requests get a lot of visibility as a result. So while it kind of paid off for me, I think you also need a lot of tries to get lucky, and most gifts by someone who picked up the canon so the collection could open already might be well-meaning, but very much not what people are hoping to get when they sign up requesting that fandom in an exchange where it might already be known. Of course, you're never guaranteed good fic, but I really wouldn't tout "just be stubborn and linger on the PH list a long" as an actually viable way to get fic by someone who is enthusiastic to write what you're requesting.
