several of my top ten requests that I had to leave out have been requested by other people

I know I know I know!! Me too! LIKE MISUZU~~~~.

Also, I am going to chortle the entire time people are working on their assignments & making comments about them b/c I WILL KNOW WHAT PROMPTS THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. :D I am one of those people that always shook & smushed Christmas presents as a kid, trying to figure out what they were, & I'm absolutely like that w/exchanges: who's writing for me? What are they doing? Did Person X in my circle mean me when they talked about loving their assignment? etc. etc. & NOW I KNOW IT ALL. :D :D :D

(& also, since I can obvs see all the prompts, even the ones that people haven't written letters about, I can say that there are some freakin' AWESOME ones that are begging for treats if they don't get fulfilled. *flails*)

Ahahahaha, I hear you on not being much on the longer fics. ^^;;; Though! Plot! That is awesome. I will keep shaking pompoms!!!

The Nishimura and Kitamoto love is also incredible! I'm not sure if I can get extra treats done before the due date given this plot monster I've unleashed, but there were several that caught my eye (and as you say, many more that are not viewable just yet). I may very well be swooping in later with more fills!

Hee, but what's fun for you is that even though you know who's got which prompts, which direction they take with what prompt will still be a surprise (or at least will set you into detective mode trying to pieces together clues, haha).

Right now I'm trying to get more word dump going. I edit well, but getting it down the first time is where I tend to stall. I keep repeating "it doesn't matter if it's crap right now, just get it written so you can edit it later!"

The way it's going to work is that the assignments will be due, & then there'll be about a week before the collection opens -- this will be to let needed pinch hits be completed. So there will be a week before reveals when treats (of any length) can be posted to the collection. :D I need to edit in a section in the FAQ about that -- I didn't do it when I started b/c I wasn't sure how adding treats to a collection worked (the exchanges I've seen have used separate collections, mostly, for treats, but I didn't know if you *had* to do that). & I figured I just wanted to get signups open w/o too much more faffing around. But also I am sure people will appreciate fills for their prompts no matter when they come in. :D

I am a master of the Shitty First Draft. I'm really good at word-dumping & good at first edits, the low-hanging fruit sort of stuff. Sometimes *coughcoughahem* after that gets a bit trickier, though. But I wouldn't get that far w/o tons & tons of words to work w/. Anyway, so yes! Go for the word dump! Make the inner censor shut up for a while!!!
