And excerpt time.
Love,“Test Miss Evans, Potter. I don’t know her; you’ll have to do it.”
“Oh.”
Lily folded her arms, while James ran an awkward hand through his hair. “I suppose I can." He thought about it a moment. "Last Halloween,” said James, recollecting something. “What happened?”
The witch thought back; several things had happened. She had been partnered with James in Defense class, she had confronted Frank about telling Alice the truth, she was pretty sure it was raining that day, and James had smoked a cigarette in the Great Hall. Lily knew which incident he referenced now.
“We became friends,” she said, smiling. “Potentially.”

Also this. (Fabulous cover beginning at approximately 1:15)
P.S. Airborne Toxic Event makes me sentimental. I just wrote the most romantic inner monologue of the story to date, I think.
gahhhhhhhhhhh please update sooooon!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you wrote a lot today! Keep up that pace and we'll have that chapter in no time :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the excerpt. Adorable!
AWWWW. :3
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I was pretty chill about the update. I thought, "Jules will update when she updates." But now I want it. That excerpt was so damn good, it was like crack. Now you have me shaking for more like Tyrone Biggums.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to realize you may have a cult following.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote loads! Yay! Except, I'm wondering if its enough, after that excerpt... just... gahh! Amazing! Anytime soon'd be lovely :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cult following.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I REALLY WANT THE UPDATE!!!!
last day of school holidays: going to cry if the update comes when i am head deep in revision :'(
ReplyDeleteplus, we definitely have a cult going.. but what would it be called?
that excerpt made me SO excited for the chapter! pleeease tell us that we won't have to wait too long for lily's "aha!" moment..it seems like its in the works, but i hope it doesn't take her much longer to make the connection :)
ReplyDeleteThis may be the cutest L/J dialog in LAT yet! I can't wait to read it :)
ReplyDeleteBtw we need to start having cult meetings and figure out ways to convince other people to drink our Kool-aid ;-)
I'm rereading TLAT right now and I just noticed how much James has changed since the beginning of the fic. Awesome character development! :)
ReplyDeleteI adore that song. <3
ReplyDeleteAlso, the excerpt is adorable. Possibly my favorite LJ moment yet.
UPDATE NOW OR I AM GOING TO SLIT MY WRISTS and I have a reliable source who reads LAT and this blog who will verify that I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO IT NOW
ReplyDelete*yay* a Pride & Prejudice reference! I do not care if it's subtle or not :)
ReplyDeleteHello... so it's the 4th today... might we expect an update?
ReplyDelete@helenchesca I was thinking the TimeHeads. Then again my propensity for naming things isn't so much commendable.
ReplyDelete@Lindsay I already hand out the Kool-Aid on a regular basis. I've been known to shove it down people's throats from time to time.
@Anonymous 1:08 That's rather messy, isn't it?
OMFG I just realised that it's not even 4pm there... that means you have so many hours left of the day yet to post the chapter, but it's nearly midnight here. Damn
ReplyDeleteLife and Times is my life!!!!! Can you PLEASE update??????? I love you!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Anon 1:08- Breathe and just think, If you slit your wrists you die in a world where James and Carlotta are together and James and Lily are not.
ReplyDelete@kneelb4todd :) the kool-aid is good!
JULES PLEASE UPDATE!!! I have not stopped thinking about that excerpt since I woke up this morning and read it :(
@Anonymous 1:08: yes, I agree with Todd, it would rather be messy. Perhaps you could do something else.. like.. throw mangoes at kittens. This way, it will still be ugly, BUT the mess will be EDIBLE!
ReplyDelete..umm.. maybe you could go fold your socks or something to pass the time. You could watch some Gilmore Girls.. OR, OR you could read The Shoebox Project so that I have someone to talk to about it :-))
And yes, it better be here by today((tomorrow morning for me)) Then I'll have 3 awesome days in a row!
HUFFAH FOR BIRTHDAYS!
-Charlie
Same! I have been going out of my mind waiting for the chapter since that excerpt. Any longer and I might consider slitting my wrists as well. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteWoah. This is intense. I thought I was obsessed.
ReplyDeleteJules you have to update. Last night my cravings were so bad i read a terrible, terrible fanfic...the whole way through. All 22 or so chapters of poorly written rubbish. That's how desperate i am for LJ.
ReplyDeleteI need to wash out my brain with L&T. PLEEEAASE
I'm begging you. Please.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous @5:13. I went back and read one of my own stories and cringed at how awful it was compared to yours. SO UPDATE PLEASE. (:
ReplyDeleteChaos. Confusion. Terror. ANARCHY!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, you guys are all just so damn funny with your hysteria. Calm down.
Hmm.. just watched Killers. It made me forget all about LAT. I recommend it. A healthy dose of Aston Kutcher will redeem all things ;-))
ReplyDeleteWow. You do have a cult following. Although, TimeHeads? Eh... I don't have a better one yet. I'll come up with one. I was excited for an update (hint hint) but am willing to be patient because creative genius can't be rushed :) However, I'll be praying to Word Buddha to hopefully help you along.
ReplyDeletep.s. Your fans are hilarious. I love reading this blog almost as much as the story.
@Charlie
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE SHOEBOX PROJECT. So good!! It's what got me into Remus/Sirius (definitely the cutest AU pairing). Was the last chapter supposed to be the end? Because I heard there was some hacking or something...
And, I don't know if it's still your birthday right now, but if it is, happy birthday!!!
I just re-read all of last Halloween.... i'm a LAT junkie
ReplyDeleteI reread halloween too after that excerpt. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to hold out for the next chapter... but like i said junkie i needed a hit
ReplyDeleteJoining the cult! But I'm not naming it ... my suggestion for the title of a project to reduce cars was "Send Your Cars on a Shooting Star that's Headed Somewhere Far, Like Pigfarts on Mars".
ReplyDeleteFavorite Halloween James Line:
ReplyDelete"Listen, Potter," she began presently, "what—what are we doing here, exactly?"
"I'm smoking. You're stalking-slash-judging me."
@Anon 9:46 I like the way you name things therefore I nominate you cult namer. any seconds?
seconded.
ReplyDeleteThirded.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Lindsay, that's my fav line too!!! I laugh everytime ;)
That Halloween scene is my favorite L/J moment by far <3
ReplyDeleteMy favourtie line:
ReplyDeleteThe team started to mount again. "You know, Prongs," said Sirius, "that was sort of hot."
LOL
ReplyDeleteI love Sirius.
There are way too many awesome lines to be able to choose a favorite :P
ReplyDeleteso.. it's January 5th. hint, hint ;)
ReplyDelete^
ReplyDelete:D
Patience guys. It takes time to write that much and to write GOOD stuff. If she updates today great. If not.. life is hectic. I'm sure she has work and stuff to deal with. Not to mention that everyone needs a break to hang out with friends and shizz.. ANYWAYS, the point is her life doesn't revolve around writing LAT don't put *too* much pressure on her.
ReplyDelete^ Touche.
ReplyDelete1.53: Lol, but we're not *pressuring* her (those of us not threatening to slit our wrists, anyway); we're encouraging her, and there's a big difference. Jules herself has said that it motivates her to write... so guys, I say keep at it! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I get the whole motivational thing about the blog, but it's the whole update update update thing that makes me kinda sympathetic(?).. I dunno but I get that people are restless for more but you could also motivate by reviewing or just sharing what bits you love from the story like above. Maybe the update update update thing would be more necessary if there was no update for 2 months and it didn't seem from the blog that she was writing anything? Meh, just what I thought while reading the comments.
ReplyDeleteJULES I LOVE YOU.
