Tallying up the votes from the communal Sorting Hat (counting definite placements as 2 and half-and-half placements as 1 each) reveals:
Gryffindor - 1
Hufflepuff - 3
Ravenclaw - 7
Slytherin - 4
(And no one voted squib - much appreciated, especially after that Sorting Hat quiz meme that was going around in March. :)
So, Ravenclaw it is, then. ( What do I think of this? )
( Is Ravenclaw the house most overlooked by fandom? )
Anyhow, thanks to all of you who voted - it's interesting to see how I come across from the 'outside'. One person said either Hufflepuff or Slytherin, which made me grin - usually I think of these as total opposites. There can't be too many Slytherpuffs about!
And to those who voted Slytherin because of my Luciusfic - I think my sense of what goes on in his head stems from curiosity more than identification. I wanted to know why he fascinated me so much, and to do that (and because of the fascination) I wanted to understand why he might do and say the things he does. And I think gaining a measure of that understanding is easier from the outside - it would be more difficult to see his blind spots if I shared them.
To take an example from real life, my Mum is always amazed that I don't feel confident about career networking, because I can talk pretty knowledgably about how it works. But being able to analyse how to act like a Slytherin doesn't mean I'm particularly gifted at doing so - and even when I do, acting like Slytherin on the outside is not the same as being a Slytherin at heart.
