If nothing else, you can chalk it up to a learning experience. Sometimes they're awesome and we know we want to do something again, and sometimes it runs in the other direction. >.> This experience sounds like the latter, but I maintain that you did at least come back to finish it, which is more than I can say for a lot of people that start a contest or exchange or something of the sort. It's a lot to coordinate and organize and when life gets in the way and time goes by, things can be even harder to keep straight.

If the person used the prompt idea in their description/foreword, most of us who are still following up should be able to find our stories, and you do have all of them in your inbox (unless you deleted the PMs) so that's another way to backtrack if you really wanted to help try and sort things out more. I'm pretty sure I found one of mine anyway so yeah. haha

I'm still gonna say it again: congratulations for finishing the exchange. For the most part, it is now over and done with and I can only hope you will be at least a little glad about that part. ^_^ I've started reading some of the stories and they've been quite enjoyable, so if nothing else, your decision to run this exchange has resulted in the creation of several stories that other people might enjoy as well. *thumbs up*

Take a breath, congratulate yourself for doing the best you could under the circumstances, and keep moving forward. ;)
