Birth Order Poll

[author_by_night]

Okay, I've done a little poll based on birth order, a "study" I'm doing, so to speak - you'll see a few of these.

Please note that when I say "peers", I do not mean it in the school sense, but in the age group sense.

Do comment on anything you'd like - that's what this is for!

OK, replace school with camp, cause my brother was the one getting in trouble at school. (Though I did light a fire once in the girls' bathroom.) I was a spoiled brat, never really over protected. And yeah, already said, replace religion for the strange hair and piercings, which wouldn't bug my family much.

Re: HP, it's less having to do with stereotypes, more that JK constructs her family dynamics in such a way (and her characters) that the issues work for the characters.

With HP, I agree, but sometimes the twins still seem way too "cookie-cutter". Ah well - it was just an example anyhow. I do think JKR has constructed stuff very carefully.

Well, yeah, but me and the twin can totally do the "on same wavelength" convo and carry it for a good while. I think that we don't see F&G enough for a full call, cause some twins really come across that way unless you get to know each part separately.
