A few thoughts: There was a distinct lack of art for this exchange, although artists are hard to come by in general, and the quality of the 2 art gifts for this exchange was certainly not lacking.

The exchange was about half-and-half with the smut, with 12 out of 28 fics being rated at least R. Clearly, Rose/Scorpius is considered a sexy couple by many shippers!

The fic lengths were interesting, with a big bunch right at the bottom and several contenders for shortest fic just over the 2000-word minimum. Another fairly large bunch in the 4-5K range, and then a small group of overachievers reaching for the 14K mark. Given the amount of writing time allowed (nearly 3 months), one might have expected at least one Big Bang-length fic (over 20K), but it seems all the authors were able to tell their stories more succinctly than that.
