I took a long time writing/programming my gift (it was an ambitious IF project and I'm frankly surprised I finished it!) and many, many people commented on it telling me I did a good job (except my recip, but oh well. you can't have it all.) which was VERY validating! I need to make more interactive fics/games, to be honest.

And somewhat ironically I also received some really lovely IF for one of my most obscure fandoms which was wonderfully crafted. I spent about five whole minutes squealing over it and I still smile every time I think about it. ::hearteyes::
