Okay, this is weird -- when I first came to this page, half your post was in HTML, and the jacket only showed a Slytherin patch.
Then I posted a rant (which I will recap below), and after I posted it as a reply, your post didn't show HTML code, and now it showed a patch. ONE patch. One patch only (in addition to the Slytherin patch).
Anyways, followed your link (which I could now do cuz it changed from HTML to linkable writing), took the test, not surprising Ravenclaw came out with the most points (94), Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tied for 2nd with 81 pts each, Slytherin last with only 54 or so pts...
Anyways, came back here to post the results, now there are now TWO Owl patches on your robe. Neat trick. Must be magic! ;-)
Anyways, somehow I deleted my previous post, where I commented that I found your post most welcoming after reading someone else's post here on LJ stating that she believed that HP fandom was, if not outright dead, at least a "sinking ship" (her own words)...
Well, I'd rather stay on the party boat with the other partiers as she sinks than join the rats who are abandoning ship! :-P
But the Ravenclaws don't need anybody! Remember what Harry said: you can choose where to go, no matter what the hat says. ;-) If you don't feel comfortable in Slytherin, I strongly encourage you to join the Hufflepuffs, because they're a great bunch and could use the help.
Um, anyway, the rest of my answer is up above... I'll copy/paste here to make it easier. The issue with the patches before was that I was editing it and fixing the HTML. It was screwed up because I copy/pasted from the e-mail, instead of directly from the source, and that messes with the code. It should show two patches, in addition to the Slytherin crest.
From the original response:
It makes me sad when I see people calling this fandom "dead," when the reality is just that it's changing. New people are coming into it all the time, new stories are being written, new variations created. If we don't like what we see, then it's up to us to make changes, isn't it?
Anyway, we're all having a blast at OWL, and it has stimulated a lot of new stories and new friendships. I think it's great!

I was pretty sure the test was going to come out in favor of Ravenclaw, cuz I tend to be more intellectual and artzy-fartzy than power-driven. But I think Slytherin would be more fun!
Now I feel bad! Can I go back and tell OWL that I want to change my house?

It does now. It didn't then.
When I first came to your post, it showed a picture of a robe with a Slytherin patch and nothing else, and a lot of HTML code at the beginning and end of the post.
When I posted my first comment, the HTML had disappeared, and now there was ONE Owl Patch in addition to the Slytherin patch. Since you link to Owl was now linkable, I clicked on it and went to the OWL blog, and clicked on their link to take the Sorting Test.
When I got my results, I came back here to post the results, and now saw TWO Owl Patches on the robe. I figured I was either losing my mind, or it was magick. I decided to accept that it was due to magick. ;-)
