Once I participated in a fest. I ended up hating the fic I wrote, and the whole thing made me so stressed out I ended up blocking the fest from my LJ. I only commented on the fic that I got as a present. Now, I'm feeling kind of stupid for overreacting this much. My fandom's small and dying, and I feel -- I don't know -- a responsibility to support it because I read a lot in it.

writing fics in exchanges or other organized events isn't for everyone -- I know I would be super stressed out too and wind up resenting the whole thing like you, so I try to write just for myself and publish the things that seem okayish to share with others, and consider that and other fandom discussions and commenting on some fics my contribution to fandom

anyway, playing cheerleader can help keep the enthusiasm going for the ones who do participate, so maybe you could do that?

so, uh, it's not just you or anything OP

Sharing fic can be stressful, especially if it's something you're really invested in. I figure one just gets used to riding it out over time. I used to always try to leave the internet for at least a few hours after posting something, preferably a day or so, so I could Not Worry about what people thought of it/if anyone responded to it. The more you write & post fics for the fandoms you care about, the easier it gets to deal with.

If it's not too late and you feel better about doing so, you could always go back and comment? Or promote the fest on your LJ/blog/tumblr to support the fandom instead?
