I've not FINISHED any prose stuff other than two shorts this year. One is two male characters and a drabble; the other is female viewpoint character and a group of children (slightly tilted towards the female). I have this recurring theme about magic as metaphor for creativity and it's connection with madness- but your survey wasn't about disability, just gender, and I'm wondering what it says that the vast majority of my magic-user characters are female....
Realize this is a bit older!
