If you're looking for other things, I keep an occasional eye out on two anon memes: fail_fandomanon and yuletide_coal. The former usually has a comment thread each post for exchanges / fests / etc. that can be a quick place to check about what's coming up, and the latter is absurdly busy over the Yuletide exchange season (a week or two before nominations open until mid-January, usually) but has a much slower but existing trickle the rest of year about other exchanges, at least enough to know that they're happening/etc.
(I know some people find anon memes very much not a place they want to read, but these two cases are usually pretty focused on "Hey, there's this exchange" and then you can ignore specific comments about works if that's not a thing you enjoy.
Quite possibly other people might chip in other thoughts: I've done Yuletide for a number of years now, but this was my first time doing a different exchange. (A lot of the canon-specific or ship-fic/pairing exchanges often produce things I'm glad to read, but don't necessarily want to write in an assignment context.)
