* Please pick the colour you think I would originally have had, if you picture it as now being grey / white (!!!)
** Feel free not to answer this one, but it is relevant to what I'm curious about, so I'd very much appreciate it. I've locked answers so they can only be seen by me. Again, if it's grey / white, please choose the colour it used to be. And I'm not including all subtleties of colour - please just choose the closest.
*** After I've finished my apocafic, of course. For the WIPs in question, look here and here.

And the WIP to work on next isn't ticky boxes! I can only pick one! *is devastated*.
Yeah, I hadn't thought about that - sometimes we might not have any mental image as specific as hair-colour. I think I picture you as resembling a picture of Eric Idle, I'm afraid. (Not Eric himself, but a picture of him.) Still, could be worse - it could be John Cleese.
And I had a suspicion that, if I put ticky boxes, I'd get people voting for all of them. *is strict* Anyhow, I am going to work on all of them, eventually... I'm just no good at prioritising, so I'm getting you lot to do it for me. :)
Sooo... I'm kind of steamrollered flat?
(A very two dimensional person, that Caladria)
Absolutely. I'm curious, though, how it works the other way around - whether a preconceived notion of someone's personality affects your idea of their looks.
Not that this poll is really going to tell me much; it's not that scientific. But it's interesting.
And, heh. I think it's a more abstract idea of how you look, though... To me, most people on lj are really a collection of words - a way of phrasing things that is 'them'. Like you said before, to you, I look like snarky fluff.
I don't know - I think icons are a lot of it as well - not so much the individuals but the style of icons - whether they're pink and fluffy and highly stylised or simpler, ther sense of humour. In a lot of ways I find myself judging people by their icons (and their grammer, though bonus points get given for grammer-icons)
Yes, there is that, too - I guess we all judge people by the colours they use on their lj, all that stuff. It's all very abstract - nothing to do with how we might expect someone to look.
So have you learnt anything from this except that people want you to write fic?
Well, it's kind of inconclusive, but it is only a superficial lj poll. I am going to post about it tomorrow. Want to give it a few more hours, see if I can get some Australian votes. :)
