The fandom census meme

[snorkackcatcher]

Orignally proposed by hesychasm apparently, the idea being to do a kind of census for one's own fanfiction, to get an idea of the kind of diversity that may (or may not) be represented by one's body of work. Spotted on miss_direct via metafandom.

Stories featuring exclusively male POV: 12
Stories featuring exclusively female POV: 11
Stories featuring multiple, mixed gender POV: 4
Stories featuring omniscient POV: 0

Stories featuring exclusively white characters' POV: 25
Stories featuring exclusively non-white characters' POV: 1 (a)
Stories featuring multiple, mixed race POV: 0
Stories featuring a nonhuman POV: 1 (b)

Stories featuring primarily gen content: 17
Stories featuring exclusively hetero relationship content: 7
Stories featuring exclusively gay/bi/curious relationship content: 0
Stories featuring both hetero and gay/bi/curious relationship content: 3

Stories featuring mixed-race relationships: 2 (c)

(a) Cho. 2 if you assume Lavender is black as per the films
(b) The Sorting Hat
(c) In one case only as brief mentions in passing, but add 1 if you assume Lavender is black

So pretty much as expected then for a straight white boy. :) Maybe I should have a go at the Patil twins post-HBP fic I had in mind before DH shafts it.

I don't need to fill this out to know I'm heavily in the male, white, straight POV camp (weird, perhaps, that I don't write much female POV stuff?)

Does writing from the perspective of someone who's already dead count as non-human POV, I wonder?

The OP wondered whether space aliens played by white actors counted as white, so I think you could decide whichever way you liked. :)
