If you're interested in expanding on it, may I ask what you mean by "the grinder" of exchanges? I couldn't quite tell whether you were praising the efficiency of shorter timeframes and lower minimums, or abhorring the whole idea...?
I have 3 exchanges/fests that I participate in every year (FKFicFest, HLH_Shortcuts, and Everywoman), all of which have been running (in one form or another) for over a decade. Many years, I also fit in a fourth, which is almost always a new event that the mod sincerely intends to be recurring, but which never recurs.
