Everyone who turned in a story on time must get a story. This is both because it's the right thing to do (you enticed them to participate in the challenge with the assurance that they would get a story), but also because people will stop participating in your challenge if they turn in a story and don't get one. They may stop participating in gift exchanges all together.
So very, very important with any kind of gift exchange. This has happened to me twice. I gave up on both fandoms, because if you don't want me to ask for my favourite obscure characters, don't say you'll do "anything".
It also makes me very angry with mods. Sure, the person assigned to write my fic may have a personal drama, fair enough, but when the mod fails to put it right I walk... Eh, I'm not normally a drama queen, but I hate feeling let down when I've put the work in.
