Let's hear it for the boys!

Amidst all the chaos of posting Delicate Sound of Thunder, I never had a chance to show off all the icons ravurian made for me; just the primary Harry and Draco one. Aren't these great? Isn't he talented? The one of Sully (post-Daniel make-over) is too much!

And it got me thinking... I always think of new LJ names as default female, but there are a plethora of men in HP fandom, too. So here's an attempt to list the ones I know. Let's hope I don't wholly embarrass myself by putting someone in the wrong column (or hope that I can edit fast enough so you won't notice). And I want you to help, too, by adding the guys you know of in the comments, 'k?

arrmaitee, black_dog, copperbadge (aka Sam Vimes), danxsunday, idiotic_savant, jexay, kayen (aka Andreas), nopejr, nothingbutfic (aka Abaddon), pauraque (aka Eodrakken), petulantgod, phreid, ravurian, son_of_darkness, tipgardner, titanic_days (aka AlexMalfoy).

ETA: aegeus, ap_aelfwine, bookofjude, cadeyrn, coffeesama, dalhessian, dadelius, emeraldjay, folk (aka John), flyngaimlessly, lightnote_blend, jcalanthe, jiggery_pokery, jonem, kenboy, malachan, mark356, owlman, petulans, portkey, slowfox, stanharding, stormwynd, the_gentleman, tromboneborges, wemyss, ziggy1278

ETA Jan 2006: anothersuperboy, clsgraduate, daddybear716, flayer_of_minds, kelvinyip, onlydeepwithin, tm_nicholas, xtremewiccan

	Sully by Ravurian
	Carr and Snape by Ravurian
	Daniel and Draco by Ravurian
	Dean and Hermione by Ravurian

ETA: Daniel is Ryan Gosling, Hermione is Thora Birch, Dean is Kele Okereke, Carr is Alfred Molina, Snape is Alan Rickman, Harry is Hugh Dancy, and Draco is Boyd Holbrook. I whined about insisted on Boyd; Ravurian selected the others, and I love them.

i, like you, always assume female, until proven otherwise. most of the fine gentleman you mention i don't know, most of the ones i did know, i knew their gender, only one surprised me.

love the icons. and i just finished dsot (i know, i know, i am soooo behind). love it. i think you should do a whole story with daniel as the center. i love him. have him meet a nice gay wizard. someone with class and style. [*giggle*] honestly though, i love the world and want to see your lovely daniel happy. the story is fabulous, had my hook, line and sinker. even though you gave us all the clues i hadn't figured out what was going on until you spelled (pun not intended) it out. love your writing. completely. adore it. you are v. talented, and you don't rely on jkrs world for your stories, you use hers to texture your world. really, can't bow down to you enough. ♥

Thank you. I never expected Daniel to be as popular as he's proving to be. It's a nice surprise. Maybe he can pick someone from the gay fans in this list (although not all are gay, of course.) I envision Daniel as someone who attracts men with his enthusiasm and sparkle, so I bet he won't be single for long. Maybe I'll recycle poor Levon from the last book, who was also treated so cavalierly by that cynical author-woman.
