To start with, I'm kind of amazed that you measure fiction written in a year in tens!

I've finished eleven stories in the past year; three had female protagonists and four were m/m. (So that's not going to look like much on the poll!) One of the m/m pieces was with an asexual character. Two of the stories with female protagonists were f/f. And two of the gen stories also had queer themes.

I've done fairly well in the past with representing mental illness, not so much physical disability. Nor with non-white characters. Older characters interest me a lot and I think I write them fairly frequently.

One of the main characters and love interests in my [community profile] ladiesbigbang this year is overweight, as was one of the two love interests in my (semi-RPFish) NaNo novel. I think fandom has a very narrow idea of what "hotness" involves and it would be nice to see that exploded.
