Bill - 6
Tonks - 5
Hermione - 4
Ron - 3
Luna, Millicent, Seamus - 2 each
Most popular pairings/moresomes:
(by number of fics)
Charlie/Hermione, Charlie/Bill/Tonks - 3 each
Charlie/Luna, Charlie/Millicent, Charlie/Ron, Charlie/Tonks - 2 each
By alignment:
Het pairing - 14
Het threesome/moresome - 5
Slash pairing - 9
Slash threesome/moresome - 2
Incest - 11 (includes 9 with one or more of his brothers, 1 with his sister, and 1 with a niece and a nephew)
There were two moresomes: one slash with 4 males and one het with 4 males and 1 female.
Some thoughts: This was a nicely populated exchange for a quite minor character. The ratings clearly show that the exchange participants enjoy depicting Charlie in sexual situations, with 86% of the gifts rated R or above.
The word counts were interesting in a couple of ways. The bulk of the fics, two-thirds, were in the lower range, as is typical for an exchange like this, but then there was quite a clear break after 6,000 words, with no fics between 6,000-7,000 words and the remaining one-third of the fics forming a long 'tail' from 7,000-18,000 words. Also, there was a smaller break, a fluke, between 3,000 and 4,000 words, with only one fic in that range.
Incest was very popular, with 37% of the fics pairing Charlie with at least one of his relatives. I'm not sure why that should be, other than the fact that the phenomenon of Weasleycest is generally somewhat popular in the fandom. I would expect much the same thing to occur in a Ron-centric fest as well, for example.
Het ended up being more popular than slash, with 63% vs. 37%. Moresomes were also more popular than in many other recent exchanges, with 23% of the fics involving Charlie and at least two other characters at the same time, and in fact I believe this is the first set of statistics I've done where a threesome was the most popular 'pairing'. I also find it interesting that Hermione was the most popular character to be paired with Charlie in a twosome, since I wouldn't consider Charlie/Hermione to be the most common Charlie ship in the general fandom. On the other hand, I wasn't surprised that Bill and Tonks were the most popular characters to be involved with Charlie; but the fact that they appeared together as a threesome so often was a bit unexpected.
It was also interesting that Millicent and Seamus both got multiple features, as those are two characters I have rarely if ever seen paired with Charlie outside of this fest.

Assignments went out August 15 (they were to them the night they closed) and Nobody was considered late if I had their fic by January 3rd. I told you-- Pushover, is me! Actually, I was away on vacation, so I gave them all the time they needed considering there were holidays there.
