*nods* A lot of this seems familiar from seekingferret's post (which morbane did in fact link below). I have never done Purimgifts, partially because I'm much more comfortable in the Yuletide paradigm.
To me Jukebox falls in a sort of a sweet spot -- it is optimized for producing lots of songfic, like Yuletide, rather than for being an optimal gift exchange, like Purimgifts (as seekingferret would say) -- but because of the small size and the (Purimgifts-heavy? :) ) particular set of participants (many of which I either know or have started to recognize at this point), there also isn't the kind of drama that can consume Yuletide.
Re the overlap between Purimgifts and Jukebox participants: I do think there's a fairly heavy social-circle effect. But I also wonder if the same kinds of people are drawn to these smaller-sized, small-canon-friendly kinds of challenges.
