Yeah, if it's close friends I'd be curious if I didn't get a response - even a "Thanks!" is fine just to acknowledge they've seen it even if they didn't like it (Although I'm actually good with people saying 'Not really to my taste' too - whether or not I care depends on who they are of course. ;3).
On the other hand, if I do a drabble offer post that's open to the general public I can guarantee that there's usually at least one person in ten that request but don't reply to what I write for them. I always wonder if they've actually seen it, if they hated it so much it fried their keyboard, if it's just a case of they lost track or are having a hard time IRL, or if it really is a genuine case of they read it and couldn't be bothered to say a word. That last is the only one that actively annoys me. I should note that the last couple that did it to me aren't writers themselves, or at least they don't post on LJ/DW/FFN under the same name, so maybe that's part of it.
If you ever spot me not responding to a filled prompt for heaven's sake tell me.
