So OF COURSE I redid my sorting. This time I got RAVENCLAW. Unlike a lot of people, my work is not shaken. I've always been a Slytherclaw, and even the first time I took the test I expected Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Any result that isn't one of those two is totally off, but as long as it's one of those, I'm comfortable.

I kind of want to take the test ONE MORE TIME but idk. At first, I thought that since that was kind of cheating, it pretty well pushes me into Slytherin, but my husband decided that if I'm doing it because I know which house I already want and I'm trying to go best-two-out-of-three to make it official, that's Slytheriny, but if I'm just curious, it's Ravenclawy.

But now, have a meme!

HP AU: Name one (or more!) of my non-HP characters, and I will tell you about their Harry Potter AU.

OR

NON-HP AU: Name one (or more!) of my HP characters, and I will tell you about their modern world/Hunger Games/superhero/whatever I want AU.

I've been plodding along on circensesic epilogue stuff, but it's been tough. It has been more difficult to write Flint's ending than it was to write Twill's. I did manage to finally get up his baby being born, which took me almost a month. Hopefully Ill finish up everything I want to do before it's all said and done.

In the meantime, I'm resurrecting the Highly Egocentric Interview Meme. Feel free to ask about past or current characters.

Comment with any number of questions in one or more of the following categories:
• To my characters (I will respond ICly as that character)
• About my characters (I will respond OOC)
• Generic RP/writing/fandom questions
• ANYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK

I love mailing things, so it's time for Christmas cards! If you'd like one, fill out the form here.

You can also fill it out if you'd like non-holiday related mail, because I know not everyone enjoys the holidays.

I'm considering doing in-character mail, so if that's something you would find humorous, just note that in the form (also, who you'd like to receive mail to and from ICly).


As a side note, I am not a prompt person, so if I don't get around to this before Christmas, I'll just send non-holiday-mail.

I just like mail.

Sometimes, it's up to Alex and I to ask the big questions.

iliekrp: okay so, I was looking at this, "13 Tumblr Posts About The Marauders We Need To Be True" and #8 makes me wonder why there are necessarily 5
like, people always try to do that with games too, make there be an even number in each house/year, but that's a game, and we're allowed to tweak stuff
but like, there is no reason houses/genders/years would be equal every year, right?

24601: Yeah I always wonder about that too
I remember reading a fic once about how terribly awkward Percy and Oliver's dorm was because in the reality of the fic they were the only two. And like YOU CAN HAVE FUN WITH IT
Otherwise the last few people would get screwed
"Well, sorry rose zeller, I know you're a Muggleborn and all but we're short a slytherin girl"

iliekrp: "Sorry, Wilkins. You're CLEARLY not that bright, but we need to round out Ravenclaw so..... you'll do"
and like, I imagine certain historical events can affect the personality of a whole generation
like, baby boomers have certain things in common
or millenials. like, are millenials like... more slytherin leaning?
did WWII era make a lot of gryffindors? and if that happens, is there just an overwhelming gryff majority for a few years

24601: The ww2 generation was def gryff
Hippies are Hufflepuffs

iliekrp: or does the hat try to like.... even it out
"You're like.... a gryffinpuff, but there's a lot of gryffindors already, so hufflepuff it is!"


24601: but then the early kids get into their proper house
Whereas around "M" the Hat is like
Fuck
I have no Ravenclaws yet

iliekrp: or maybe, since the hat is magical, it KNOWS these things
maybe it can sense the wave gryffindors coming
it can feel a red-and-gold disturbance in the force

24601: LMAO
I mean it could tell they all needed to ~unite~ when voldie came back

iliekrp: right

I stole this from xanthophiliac. I'll do new characters, old, psl or games, whatevs.

In the style of those old cracky Marvel comics, pose a hypothetical question about one of my characters - What if Flint hadn't been chosen as a tribute? What if Alice never became an Auror?

(Don't forget to change the examples in parentheses to ones that are for your own characters if you re-post the meme!)

Do people still use AIM? How do you do so on mobile devices? B/c the AIM app SUCKS SO MUCH (at least for me).

HOLIDAY DRABBLE MEME.

Give me a pairing and I will write anything from 6 words to idk 6 pages set around Christmas/NYE.

Stole this from corsair.

Ok, let's say that I was considering joining ditched.

What's the skinny? Who should I play? Maybe a non-athlete. Is that advisable? Or should that not be my first character?

Rules: Find out what characters share the same personality type as you here and list 10 characters that you find relevant below. If you don’t know your personality type, take the test here.

INTJ (The Mastermind): It's lonely at the top, and being one of the rarest and most strategically capable personality types, INTJs know this all too well. INTJs form just two percent of the population, and women of this personality type are especially rare, forming just 0.8% of the population - it is often a challenge for them to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with their relentless intellectualism and chess-like maneuvering. People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy.

EXAMPLES:
- Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane) from Batman
- Professor James Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes
- Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones
- Severus Snape and Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter
- Loki from Marvel Cinematic Universe
- Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins
- Harry Dresden from The Dresden Files
- Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- GLaDOS from Portal
- Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation
- Vidia from Disney Fairies
- Also Scar, Jafar, and Maleficent.

Thought I'd give this a whirl... it doesn't have to be done in thirty CONSECUTIVE days, right?
