The poll looks like I have 0/10 fics with female protags, but it's actually 1/14 (or 3/14, depending on whether you mean only POV character or if there are two main characters in the fic and one is female, just not the POV character). If I go with 1/14, that's 7% and if I go with 3/14, that's 20%, which sounds a lot better than 0! XD But clearly 3 still rounds to 0 not 10...
So far this year I've written 8 m/m, 1 m/f, and the rest gen.
On the other hand, 10/14 were about trans people... (4-6 had people of color as the POV character; I say 4-6 because one is a manga character from England not said to be ethnically Japanese, but can pass as Japanese in Japan so I'm not sure if he's supposed to be Japanese or not, and the other is a manga set in a vaguely western-influenced fantasy world that does not map to the real world in any way, shape or form.)
And yeah, I agree that one shouldn't be focused on stats, but I always think it is interesting to take a look at your work like this. I would have said off the top of my head that I'd written more het this year, but I think I was misremembering some of last year's fics as being from this year.
