Thank you for the compliments. :) It's the first time I ever ran an exchange, and I'm so glad everything went well.
I did include a question about whether people have read the books, or not, or only some of them, but maybe I should have made it a bit clearer when people want only show-verse. I could add that next time, maybe something like "Have you read (all) the books? Please specify if you have any book vs. show preferences." But I did include it, and I told everyone whether their giftee had read the books or not. As for the creation part ... the problem is that the large majority of all participants had at least read some of the books. I think there were only three or four people who hadn't read any of the books, so most people ended up asking for at least a few prompts that require knowledge of the books. I tried to make sure that everyone had at least two or three prompts they could actually work with, but I can't promise that everyone gets only prompts they can fill. :/
I understand, I wouldn't want anyone to spoil themselves, or to read things they don't want to read. It just makes me sad when people DO read fics, and then don't bother to leave a comment.
Okay, cool. :) Looking forward to having you around again for the next exchange. ^^
