I've run an exchange before, and the reason why there's sometimes a wait is because people don't turn in their fics on time, or people drop out without notice. If I post all the available fics right away and there's a long deadspace on the comm before the next fic, people get bored (or they think the exchange is finished) and they drift away. The later fics don't get as much attention or as many comments and it kills the momentum dead.

I can understand being impatient to get your sweet, sweet validation, but that's not really a very big problem compared to the job of the moderator, who is almost certainly pulling their hair out in frustration because of all the last minute problems. I hope you have some sympathy for exchange mods and that you give them a HUGE sincere thank you for their hard work.

Believe me, I definitely give credit to the mods for the difficult (and probably often thankless) task of coordinating and running an exchange, and I'm not blaming them for the delay in my gratification. I'm just one of those people who posts a fic and then hovers over my Works page, refreshing every half hour (or less) to see if I have any new kudos or comments - and having to wait days or weeks for the first trickle of attention is hard, even if it's necessary from the mods' end.
