I do like this idea, but also wonder how you'd probably get the random "secret" outcomes. Well, in any case, I think it'd be a lot of fun to do something like this, since I've never really done it before. It would also make me feel less guilty about receiving a gift, since I'll be making one myself in return. Win-Win.
Also, this ^. I spend much more time on a writing piece than I do on visual art - it can take me months to get a piece of fiction where I want it and even then I'm never happy with it. xD It's rather sad that my drawings get more attention than my writing, because I'll spend maybe 2 hours at best drawing and GIMP editing something and it'll get a dozen times more attention than a piece of fiction I've been working on for months. But alas, 'tis a way of the Internet. I get "tl;dr" a lot and it doesn't really bother me much anymore, though it still makes me wonder how my "art" gets so much unneeded attention when all I ever see, personally, is a bunch of chicken scratch trying /desperately/ to look like art. x'D Luckily, I happen to have a couple watchers who do give me tips for that kind of stuff, so I've seen a bit of improvement over time, which is good.
Aaaaaanyhoodles, I can do art or writing, even music (composition or lyric parody) if people are into that, but I think my problem is that I'm not really sure which art form someone would prefer to receive from me... I guess I'll just try to be more observant and see if I can decide for myself what that person would like best. And most likely fail? Go easy on me, I'm new to gift exchanging and stuff like this.
-epic laaaawwwlllz-
Also, I have to agree with Kit, I thought the story about Luscious was a very interesting and nicely written read. If that doesn't prove you can write higher than the average competency, I don't know what will. You should write moooar. >:0 But of course, I'm not going to force it on you. (or am I? -shifty eyes-)
Well, I ranted again. :<
Good idea by the way, if I failed to mention that within the last 5 paragraphs.
EDIT;
Ah, good idea, good idea!

Will Give: Writing, Art... Other? But not my soul, plz, that's off-limits.
Is Willing To Recieve: Anything... ? xD
The last part about being boring and inferior is probably true to some, but I can at least say from first hand experience I have used at least 5 hours to get the quality of a story right to so it doesn't just go for art ^^.
