Ugh, Secret Santas. I had avoided them for a while, but I finally saw one I was really optimistic about. So I signed up, and I had a great time working on my submission.
And then I got no thank you (only three comments out of the 57 who downloaded) and I was the only one who didn't get anything. So yeah. I did get a pinch hit a month later (that was kind of brilliant, so I did get something good out of it), though.
Four years later and I haven't done one since.
I feel bad, kind of, because I think when it works, they're really fun, but I was just...ruined for them.
