i agree with you, i think it's all well and nice to compare fic fests to exchange of x'mas presents but i don't think they quite work that way. it's not as if the author says "for giftee's eyes only". if a writer thinks concrit is valuable, then i think it would be valuable in all occasions. and if the writer wants to respond to something, they can do so anonymously.
i dunno, it strikes me as fandom making rather a big deal out of concrit again. i mean, what's the end zone? it would forever be a gift fic so why does it magically (no pun intended) become more appropriate to concrit it on jan 1st? -shrugs-
