SC I should be more specific, I think it is possible to know someone picked up your canon without being told outright, but not in Yuletide. In smaller exchanges and with regular exchange participants, you get a sense of what fandoms someone is familiar with both from what they request and comment on but also chatter over Discord and the like. Like, if someone goes eyes emoji at you posting a fandom promo in a Discord thread and writes you a PH in that fandom a few months later, it's not rocket science to figure it out.

I think most Yuletide PHs (except for very late PHs, potentially) are written by people who already know the thing (even if they need to do canon review), while PHs in small exchanges are dramatically more likely to be picked up by someone intending to consume or who recently consumed the canon.
