I wouldn't know how to count this since I'm not on Ao3 given that it's all part of an ongoing work. If by romantic or sexual scene count, it's definitely M/M, M/F or Multi, and then F/F in that order to my chagrin, and only one instance of romantic nonbinary representation (which, given me, is astounding). It might make more sense to count by established (or soon to be established) pairings? In which case it's mostly similar numbers. But I guess the caveat that I'd make is my 'het' representation almost always includes a transgender character and is thus still queer, and that I feel makes a difference. The very, very few cisheterosexual relationships I can list from my canon are either Dead Parents or unhappy trysts (not counting Windflower/David because technically they're polyamorous with her doing her own thing with others while he's in his millenial sleep).
The reason I didn't answer last week's either is that I have a very hard time rating my own writing. Is the rating just for sexual content or for violence (or language) as well? How many axises cultural prudery does one cave to in assigning this value to a work? I know there are sexy bits, but I could easily leave those out of the end product (they'd still be implied so the overall thing would have at least an M rating if judging on sex alone). But I don't know how to rate my 'gen' stuff on the other two basises. Do Dorian and Heerah's foul mouth automatically slide me up to teen and up? How graphic have my descriptions of violence been? I can't objectively tell.
Sorry for basically answering two prompts at once, I sort of fell behind on this community! I've been doing well lately with the work though - I'm not always writing substantial things, but I'm writing regularly, and that's such a big improvement from the last year that I'm not going to complain at all
