Hee, there we go with the perception again. Everyone knows what House we are, right? I think of myself as Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff undertones. I'm as guilty of getting lost in the theory with disregard to the practical as the worst academician, but I'm Hufflepuff enough that I can turn that off and come up with a "good enough" solution, while resolutely chanting "The good is the enemy of the Best" to appease my Ravenclaw instincts.
She's Slytherin, and she sees in your writing a willingness to face the other side of the mirror, the anti-hero, the ulterior motive. As she does. Looking away from the shiny-kid side, as it were.
But she also mentioned (as she said above) that while your writing showed a Slytherin mindset, she thought that you, yourself, away from LJ and fandom, were probably more Hufflepuff, given your encouragement of new writers (me included!) your sense of the benefits of working toward co-operative success versus simple BNF solo fame, your pattern of promoting others and supporting the group.
So that's what we were thinking -- I thought Ravenpuff; she thought Slytherpuff.
