Some thoughts: Wow, for a short-notice fest this sure got some great participation, especially coming right between the big end-of-the-year holiday fests and the Valentine's fests, when a lot of writers and artists are burned out or overextended. On the other hand, I don't think it's possible to put out a Harry/Draco fest and not have decent numbers. ;-)
The amount of art vs. fic appears a bit low, but with relatively small numbers like 3 (number of artworks), it's hard to get the statistics to say much. Also, kisses are hard to draw! LOL.
Given that the premise of this fest was kissing, there was no need to go for the higher ratings, yet over half of the participants did, with 56% of the gifts rated R or higher. Obviously Harry and Draco were doing more than kissing! Still, there was a good number of PG and PG-13 entries, keeping in the fluffy spirit of the fest.
The word counts were very solid, especially given the short creation period. Even though the minimum word count was 500, nearly all of the authors wrote more than double that length. The one long fic, at 7,370 words, was more than 3 times as long as the average, and almost twice as long as the second-longest fic (3,778 words).
