On the one hand, I have gotten some nice feedback on the fic I wrote for the exchange. It makes me happy to see people have enjoyed it! It's certainly gotten more attention than the last couple of things I've written for Hetalia which, to be fair, were state oc things. (Although, not gonna lie, sometimes I'm a little put out by the fact that all the popular state oc fics are basically variations of the same basic premise, and they're usually terribly written stereotypes instead of interesting characters. But that's neither here nor there.)
Anyway.
What I mean to say is that reception has been pretty good so far! But I haven't heard anything back from the prompter. I don't know if they liked the fic, or if they've even seen it. Tumblr's known for sometimes eating messages, but I don't know if it did or if the recipient is just ignoring it. Or if, once again, I'm being too impatient or overdramatic about this. But it doesn't appear that they have posted anything for the exchange, and it doesn't seem like they've noticed their gift at all.
If they dropped the exchange and didn't tell anyone, I'll be kind of annoyed. If they dropped the exchange, told the admins that they were dropping and the admins didn't tell me, then I'd also be annoyed. But I dunno if any of that actually happened or not. And I'm not sure how long I should wait before asking if they got their gift. I think maybe next time I will have to try out a different fic exchange. (I don't even know where to start with that, tbh. I guess I will have a look around.)
