I write for exchanges A LOT (I say, as I mod two and am frantically looking for pinch-hitters for one). I just love being able to make people happy with my writing and I think I've got a pretty good track record of actually doing so.
I've recently been working with Someone on making art for their WIP Big Bang fic and I loved that experience as well. I'm super proud of the art I made too! It was pretty challenging, but I think I pulled it off really well.
I did an RL fic Secret Santa exchange with fannish folk I know RL and it was great! We all ended up reading all the fics -- it was very interesting to see how, even tailored to someone else, the fics remained very much the product of whoever wrote them. I suppose I could see the same thing with online exchanges, but there in most cases I don't know both 'sides'.
I don't base characters on real life people, no. (Unless you count writing historical RPF, I guess.)
