How British are you?

this quiz was made by alanna

Erm... Okay. Whatever. I do listen to the BBC World Service a lot.

Hhaa no matter what you pick on that quiz, you get that result. I tried to trick it and it just wasn't having it. That's ridiculous. :D

Body and Soul made me cry, too.

I got the result with Hugh Grant on it.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

I wish I would have got Hugh Grant. *pines*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Hee! I've seen a few people get different results, but it does seem slanted in one direction! ;-)

Yes, Body and Soul really caught me by surprise! I love it when that happens.

I know it's none of my business, but why'd you change your name? Just curious...

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Hmm, basically I just hated my old name. It was so plebeish and I was tired of explaining to people that I didn't really do it out of sheer stupidity, but as a joke. More people than I thought would took it seriously. Also, it just wasn't very me, if you know what I mean. I'm not really very bubbly and it seemed too...OMGYAY. :P

Hihi! Just wanted to let you know that I read "A Little Thing" and loved it.

I had a question as well:

I THINK it's on your story thingie....but it's a story where it's their last year, and Draco comes out to his father and he's disowned, and he gets a room in The Leaky Culdran, and he and Harry become friends/lovers. Do you know what I'm talking about? BEcause for some reason I was thinking about it last night. lol. Yesth. If you know it., thank you, so much.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks!

I think the fic you're talking about is Draco Malfoy and His Unknown Fate (http://www.queerasjedi.com/emma/recs/hpfic/draco_unknown.html). It used to be on FFN, but I'm not sure if it's still there. I offered to archive it for her, so it's on my site at the above link.

AHH *snuggles you* you always give the best recs. :D
Enjoyed both stories very much, now waiting for more of your stuff! Heh.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're so sweet! :-D

[malafede.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the rec. The fic's called "Run", though. :) Project Love is just me trying... very hard... to be positive, ahaha.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ooops! How did I miss that? Sorry! Will change...

[malafede.livejournal.com]

No prob. :)

Loved your ficlet 'Just a Little Thing', loved it, hope they love each other & this is the 1st safe sex fic I've read... interesting. I was beginning to wonder if all orgasms were mind shattering and if everyone screams their lover's name at the crucial moment - makes a nice change so I shall scoot off and read some more of your fics. Oh, commiserations on Bush. We here in Blighty (U.K) had our fingers crossed for Kerry. Hill's for Pres!

Re: Praise

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm actually surprised at how uncommon safe sex is in fic. I came into slash via QAF, where safe sex is an important issue, so it surprises that it isn't in other fandoms.

i'm going to rant about this in my journal, i'm very annoyed! 'how british are you?' should be 'how english are you?'

good thing i found it funny, spesh the one with joey!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

*is confused*

[princesskirsty.livejournal.com]

i just got a bit annoyed that a test about 'how british are you?' had questions all about England. There are three other countries in Britain that people (including English people) tend to forget about. When i was on holiday in Florida for example, a woman told me i had a cool accent and asked me where i was from, i said Scotland and she said is that near London?

People tend to forget about Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

On a happier note your recs were fab! Particularly the breakfast in bed one, you know i love the happy endings!
