Ah, Yule Balls. I got to participate in only one round, but I have a real soft spot for the fic I wrote for it and for the whole fest. It was my first round of HP holiday tests (2009, when everything was still new and shiny to me; I'd got into fandom too late in 2008 to participate in anything, even if I'd known what fests and exchanges were, which I didn't.)
Your recs look great, and I'm eager to try them.
Oh, and I'm that person in fandom, too -- as far as I'm concerned, kudos and "likes" don't come close to substituting for comments (and especially not for a gift fic -- wtf?) I just had someone at FFN who favorited me, favorited several stories, and added me to her "follow" list. . .yet didn't leave a single review. I guess she liked my stuff, which is good, but. . .yeah.
