December 26th

So, I have a schedule for writing, which I am totally behind on, because my life is a soap opera. However, if I am home early this evening and don't sleep tonight (;-P), then I should be back on schedule to update by the new year.

Christmas hangover mini excerpt:


“Girlfriend, eh?” scoffed Falstaff to James. “Personally, I thought you looked better with the ginger.”

Love,
Jules

P.S. FUCK YOU, COMPUTER! Lol, I totally just found the parts of Chapter 27 that I thought I accidentally erased: ALL THE FUCKING JAMES AND CARLOTTA SCENES, which I then had to REWRITE. At least one was better the first time.

  5. I feel so bad for you about finding the chapter 27 parts. Once I wrote a 13 page paper and finished it at 4 in the morning, but when I clicked the save button, it changed the entire thing into webdings! I tried for hours to change it back but nothing would work. It was a horrible experience. So I understand your pain, and send you a virtual hug of empathy.

    Also please sleep! As eager as I am for chapter 29, please just nurse your hangover and relax. It's Christmastime! Plus getting a new chapter in 2011 will be a great way to start the year :)

    And another thing, not to be presumptuous or anything, but.... was the dedication to an 'anonymous' who was having a bad week, me? I'm just curious. Because when I read that at the beginning of chapter 28, I did have a mini freakout. Nothing has ever been dedicated to me before. haha. Even if it's not, that's okay, it was still awesome to think it was for awhile.

    Hope you had a marvelous Christmas with your family!

    P.S. Of course he looks better with the ginger, it doesn't even need to be said!

  6. I hope you had a great Christmas :) And don't stress too much about the new years deadline, we'll still love you if you are a little late! And I agree with Falstaff (whoever that is)...

  7. God, James, will you stop telling everyone but Lily about the hoe, I mean, Carlotta.

    Every one is going to shoot me for this but... you should sleep! A day or two behind on schedule isn't bad. *prepares for violent reaction from everyone*

  8. Hi Jules and everyone else. I mentioned this on my LaT review, but I've been lurking on the story and blog for about a week and I wanted to get all caught up with both before I posted anything (although I was so incredibly tempted- I am a native San Franciscan and your speech on California stereotypes was brilliant- I love In-n-Out so frickin much. And ohmygod I want my life to be a musical narrated by Morgan Freeman). So, yep. All caught up now, and here I am. LaT really is amazing- it made Christmas break about 500 times better than it would have been otherwise. So, thanks for everything, and a belated Merry Christmas, and I will actually comment on/review your blog posts/chapters now. :)

    - Lizzy

    p.s. Sorry about the Carlotta/James scenes. Stuff like that has happened to me before and it really sucks. :(

  9. Aww, you guys are sweethearts, but I'm fine. I'll sleep when I'm dead. Or when LAT is finished, at any rate.

    @Underbabe: what is this "normal" time nonsense? Lol, ANYWAYS, hopefully it will be Dec 31 morning, before I'm obligated to go do things in the real world.

    @Anonymous 2:04, yep. Chapter 29.
    @Lindsay: I did have a great Christmas, and I hope you did too =). Falstaff = guy at the end of the last chapter.
    @Natalie: HAPPY BIRTHDAY EARLY!!!!!!!!
    @Bree: LOL, but actually, no one in that quote is referencing Carlotta. Did I mention Chapter 29 has a James/Alice scene (for all of those many, many, many James/Alice shippers out there?????)

    Rainshadow--San Francisco for the win! It seems like there are an awful lot of Californians around here (not LITERALLY around here.... I mean, yes, literally around here, because I'm in California, but "here" as in the blog. ANYWAY). Thanks so much for reading and reviewing and commenting, and long reviews make me very happy, so no worries there.

  10. @Jules, sorry. I suppose I will react violently every time someone says the word 'girlfriend' in the next few chapters.

    Alice/James shippers? The fuck?!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Lol, it's not really anything. It's like two seconds. Nothing worrisome.

    ReplyDelete
  12. ... still confused.

    ReplyDelete
  13. UNLESS that's what James' plan was? Pretending he just wanted somehwere private for a snog?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh, waitt, no, shut up. Just realised my above comment doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
    Ignore.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Alright, good. That's a relief! Because Lily/Sirius makes a hell of a lot more sense than Alice/James.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Just to scare the bejeezus out of you: there's a kiss.

    ReplyDelete
  17. So do I, Falstaff, so do I ;)

    But yeah, that totally sucks about finding all those scenes you thought got deleted! Damn computers.

    James and Alice hmm? I never really thought about it....but I can tell already the next chapter's going to be interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  18. THEORY TIME!

    I agree with the other anon, James' is gonna say they were trying to find a private place to snog and he won't use Lily as the other snogger cause he's being an awkward duck around her. What ensues is a James/Alice fake kiss and hopefully a jealous Lily.

    INCEPTION MOMENT?!?!

    no,then? it was worth a shot...

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's a reference within a reference, Anonymous. Freakin' awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh. Hum. Confused again. Was I right about James pretending they just wanted a snog? I put that up then instantly thought 'No that's stupid, how is he going to explain Lily's presence? And then why would Falstaff say that?'

    But it's right? And there's a KISS?! Most perplexing.

    Okay, just for clarity's sake, I left a comment a week or two ago, complaining about your little snippets making me want the next chapter too damn much. I believe I requested that you put up spoilers that wouldn't actually um spoil anything. Like what Lily had for breakfast.

    And that above snippet is my exact reason for that. I get too curious! And then I can't wait. I literally have been checking your bog every freaking hour sine the spoiler from two days ago. This is what you've turned me into!

    nvcsdlihv. Blah.

  21. Sam, I'm sorry for being such a spoiler whore, LOL. I will answer your question, however, because now I feel guilty.

    That is not James's plan, and, as for--

    "How is he going to explain Lily's presence?"

    THREE-SOME!!! I kid. No, James's plan has nothing to do with kissing. And he won't initiate any of the kissing either (KISSING, but most definitely NOT SNOGGING). That's Alice's plan. Lol. Okay, now I'm officially evil and deserve to be flogged for such spoilerificness.

    And Lily does not have breakfast in Chapter 29, but she does eat chips at one point =P.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Chips with Sirius!

    Two of my favorite things in the world!

  23. So this is completely random, but I couldn't think of a better bunch of people to answer this for me.
    So I was reading a fanfiction and it reminded me of a scene from another fanfiction and I just HAD to read it right away. The only problem was, I can't quite remember the title... or plot. So I am going to explain the scene I remember and hope and pray that someone can tell me where it's from! So, Lily, James, Sirius, and James's mum are all in the Potters' kitchen and Sirius starts to wave a knife in the air. Mrs. Potter proceeds to ask him "Why in merlin's beard are you thrashing around that deadly butter knife in the air?" Sirius answers "I'm trying to cut the sexual tension!!" Then Sirius and Mrs. Potter have a good laugh over that, while Lily and James blush and sputter.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or have I gone crazy?

  24. That sounds really vaguely familiar.... try googling it! =P

    (yes, I just said "really vaguely.")

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have this theory that your computer is also anti James/Carlotta so it "deleted" all the supposed James/Carlotta scenes for Chap27.
    Lol just kidding! ;)

    And I love your spoilers. They keep me sane. (You know how most of us are pretty much going crazy in anticipation for your next updates)

    PS. I want to give Falstaff a pat in the back. We all think he looks better with the ginger, too! :D

    ReplyDelete
  26. OMFG When I read Jules' post I didn't get a proper look and what my brain registered was 'JAMES FUCKING CARLOTTA SCENES'. LOL, I almost had a heart attack! I was like, NO! Jules isn't planning on writing that is she?!?!

    And then I read through the comments getting more and more confused, and it was probably my twelfth time reading the post that I realised what it ACTUALLY said. Needless to say, I've calmed down now.

    ReplyDelete
  27. ^ Lol Anon that's hilarious.

  28. 'James fucking Carlotta' hahaha. Lol
