--How many fics have you written in each relationship category? Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?

M/M (284)
Gen (122)
F/M (37)
F/F (9)
Multi (8)
Other (3)

I'm not sure exactly how one would have "accidental" relationship categories, to be honest! I do like writing m/m a lot, mostly because so many of my favorite characters are male and I like imagining them interacting in a wider range of circumstances than action sequences, which is what they're usually limited to. :)

Is your current project your most common category or something else? I'm working on something nonfiction, so very resolutely gen, haha.

I'm not sure how you have accidental relationship categories either. I guess if you don't realize how much you've been writing of a particular ship/category until you see it laid out.

The m/m and f/m is actually closer to even than I thought it would be, considering I came to fandom/started writing fic to create more content for a specific rare m/m ship. I know I haven't moved all my fics from LJ to AO3 but for some reason, I thought there would be more of a gap. I do have current projects for both m/m and f/m ships. For exchange fics- 1 will be f/m and the other 3 are m/m. Two m/m ships for auction winners (same ship) and I have a Het Big Bang fic (self explanatory) and my WIP is f/m too. Both my fics for the WIP Big Bang are going to be m/m so I guess it's leaning in that direction for the moment.

That would have to be my guess, though it seems a little difficult!

Your M/M and F/M are so evenly split! I'm actually a bit surprised I have so little F/M compared to gen--I enjoy reading it a lot!
