2/21

“You’ve got your new girl, and your attempts to flaunt her do absolutely nothing to me, because if she’s stupid enough to publically acknowledge association with you, she’s not even worth my sympathy. But somehow, even I don’t think that anyone can be quite that thick, and sooner or later, she’s going to realize that you’re not worth the effort, too.”

(It's not who you think it is. Either of them.)
-Part III

Still working on the chapter, but I'm flying through part III so hopefully that bodes well...

  1. Is chapter IV done?

    ReplyDelete
  2. I'm almost hyperventilating at the anticipation of this chapter.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Part IV is done but unedited. Part II is almost done, but also unedited.

    Lol, don't hyperventilate! Keep calm and carry on! It'll most likely be several hours still. =)

  4. As a wise blog-follower once said, the answer is always Remus.

    (Or Mary, come to think of it.)

    ReplyDelete
  5. Oh, Please Please Please, I wish to read it tonight!!!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hmm, it's either Marlene and Miles or Mary and Stebbins.

    I guess I'll find out soon enough:) Happy President's Day!

  7. Ok who we would think it was... Marlene is the first one. Donna would be the next.(because thats her part right?)
    It sounds nothing like Lily. Maybe Shelly to Carlotta? But I don't think Carlotta will be making a lot of friends this chapter.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm thinking Mary to Stebbins because of the whole 'let's not get into what Stebbins did' reference in the last(2nd last?) chapter (very poorly paraphrased I'm sure)

    ReplyDelete
  9. i actually have no clue as to who it is. i suppose i'm just going to be pleasantly surprised when i read the chapter.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I hope it's Marlene to Miles. Either way, whoever it is needs to do some Z snapping (what is that actually called? does it have a term?) at the end of that....;)

    ReplyDelete
  11. To kelsey,

    i actually had to snap in the z format because i wasn't sure what you were talking about and then laughed at my stupidity when i realized what you meant.

    ReplyDelete
  12. First thought is Marlene and Miles, but Jules said that it's not who we'd think. This makes me want to rethink.

    Donna and Charlie Plex maybe? He's a big enough tool to warrant this kind of statement.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I like meilany, honestly have no idea who is talking here. I shall just wait for the chapter and see... :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. I want it to be Marlene and Miles so terribly.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Wait, so it's really coming out tonight? Like, REALLY? Today is such a good day...

    ReplyDelete
  16. It's Stebbins' ex-girlfriend's response to Steb/Mary.

    ReplyDelete
  17. this will be a an excellent treat after I finish my chemistry homework. Which is to say no rush Jules, I have a few more hours of Chemistry ahead of me :-/

    ReplyDelete
  18. donna and charlie seem like a good guess...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Just like Lindsay, I have way too much Calculus homework to do. So if you need a couple hours, by all means, go for it, 'cause we all know that if I see an update there is NO WAY I'm finishing my calc. And thats problematic, cause see, I need to finish my calc. :)

    haha, SUPER excited, and this excerpt is filled with so much sass, I love it!

    -ofergy

    ReplyDelete
  20. maybe marlene? or Mary or Remus

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hmmm, wait a moment. Cursory Wikipedia search: Carlotta delenda est? Carlotta must be destroyed? Did I solve it?! Do I win a cookie!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Lol that cookie has been won, but have one anyway!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Any idea how long it'll be till an update Jules? thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I would recommend anyone not in my timezone (where it is 7:27 p.m.) catch the update tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  25. it could be...

    lily
    james
    sirius
    remus
    peter
    mary
    donna
    marlene
    shelley
    carlotta

    I must have guessed it at some point, right?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oof, I am obviously behind on the times. :P

    ReplyDelete
  27. @729, it's someone in the bottom half of that list.

    ReplyDelete
  28. will the update be coming in the next two hours?

    ReplyDelete
  29. blagh.
    i hate you, EST.
    knew i should've stayed home in MST.

    ReplyDelete
  30. @744, to be safe I would say probably not.

    ReplyDelete
  31. hahaha I LOVE LIVING IN HAWAII. Even if you update late for you I'll still be awake. xD nahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The other good thing about being in Hawaii: YOU'RE IN FREAKING HAWAII =)

    ReplyDelete
  33. If the update goes up before I go to bed, I'm totally abandoning my Shakespeare homework.

    ReplyDelete
  34. stupid Chicago in its stupid time zone.
    -Sara

    ReplyDelete
  35. Haha, I just read the name Reg in another fic. It was referring to Regulus Black, but I immediately thought of Reg (Kitty Cat) and became very confused. Apparently, LaT is always somewhere on my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It's 3:26pm here on this side of Australia, which means the chances of an update before i go to bed are pretty high yeah!?
    :D :D :D :D

    ReplyDelete
  37. Goodness, I wish I were in Australia right now. Extra time to read TLaT and do my American Lit homework. Life is just so cruel. Love you Liz, when you read this. :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. its 11:41 am in thailand nowww!! where do you live btw, Jules?

    ReplyDelete
  39. As a wise blog-follower once said, the answer is always Remus.

    LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  40. @kayla 2.7
    do you watch packed to the rafters or mcleod's daughters? the alpaca in my icon is inspired by the latter.

    ReplyDelete
  41. @potato nope i don't watch either..but i'm a big fan of alpacas in general if that counts lol.

    ReplyDelete
  42. hahaha yeah they're definitely the cutest after dogs, cows, sheep, and polar bears.

    ReplyDelete
  43. speaking of which.
    polar bear would be my patronus. and cow my animagus.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I would like a swan to be my patronus but Cho Chang's patronus was a swan, which kind of sickens me. So i'd have a meerkat.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I am beyond pumped for this update!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I am also ready for an update!! I can't wait!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I will probably be in school when the update comes out which means I'll have plenty of time to read the chapter after. I almost want to cancel the date I have tomorow just to have more time to read it. Almost.

    @Jules since the context of your spoilers are always suprising is it possible thet the one saying this line is not an ex-girlfriend but a guy.
    P.S:Totally out of the subject but is my english okay?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Write like you've never written before please, it's 4:41 in the afternoon here. Australia. I should do some homework before this happens. I was walking home from school with this overwhelming sense that when I got home there would be a fan fiction update, so I got home, checked my e mail, and there was nothing there, so I was confused. Then I checked your blog and everything made sense. I feel as if the punctuation in this had been horrific.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm hoping you update REALLY soon (as in in the next half hour) because if you don't I'll probably have to go to bed and read it tomorrow. But that wouldn't be too bad, so don't rush on my account :)
    -Sara

    ReplyDelete
  50. I would go to bed, Sara. But it'll be here all shiny when you wake up =)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oh alright =P I can't wait!!!
    -Sara

    ReplyDelete
  52. i just woke up. it's eight in the morning here in my part of the world. should i expect an update anytime soon or do i have to wait till tomorrow?

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think you should, just on principle.

    No, I'm kidding.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wait, yes or no on the post tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  55. But if it's eight in the morning where you are, it won't be late.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Grrrrr.... I have school tomorrow. I guess I'll wake up early to read it. :D

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think it's Marlene talking to Miles!

    Or maybe it's Donna, Marlene isn't that abrasive... But I'm thinking she's gonna have a transformation or something, hopefully!

    ReplyDelete
  58. What time is is for you now, Jules?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ah, I don't mean to bother or rush you or anything, but are you going to post it soon?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Are you going to update tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  61. hmm I'm saying Donna to Charlie... Am currently dying for the update!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. It is almost three in the morning where you are so I am going to assume you will not be posting anytime soon. I will probably wait for it for a while longer anyway b

    ReplyDelete
  63. ^ LOL reading all these comments made me laugh. If I were awake for the past eight hours I would totally also be that desperate.

    That being said - Jules don't stress out if we are being very nagging! And don't feel the need to rush the chpater either. Take your time. We'll love you still even if you take a whole extra week to update :)

    (But please don't actually take a whole extra week to update. I mean, I'll still love you, but I'd rather not wait that long...)

    ReplyDelete
  64. So... um... how do you guys feel about a 100 page chapter?

    Just... ahem... hypothetically speaking.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Fucking keen. Is it done? :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Not just yet. If it's not late where you are, though, then it will be soon enough...

    ReplyDelete
  67. I mean, it's written, but I'm still ironing out some timeline kinks.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I would say you've come a loooong way since your 25 page chapters

    ReplyDelete
  69. It's only about 9 pm where I live. I am going to shower and pray for a fan fiction upon my return. I love you so much. I didn't do my homework tonight though, I watched OoTP

    ReplyDelete
  70. A 100 page chapter? Goooo, Jules! That would be nothing short of riddikkulusly AWESOME.

    Marie

    ReplyDelete
  71. 100 page?
    HYPERVENTILATING.
    I have IB mocks and all but who cares when there's The Life and Times?
    :)

    ReplyDelete
  72. Only 10:12 pm. You obviously have it a lot worse than me but in my defense, I have school tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Fucking hell, Jules, it's 4 o'clock in the morning where you live and you're still awake? Because you're working on LaT? For us?? This is why we love you, Jules.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Holy mother of god I look forward to this. I am so glad you are doing this and I severely hope you have a big rest after.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I don't even know how many words the others are but that sounds EPIC :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. Lol rest? It's 4:30. I'm not to bed tonight. =P

    ReplyDelete
  77. Do you feel as if you're close to posting?

    ReplyDelete
  78. The anticipation! It's killing me! Thankfully, though, it's the afternoon where I am, so I've got a good 12 hours before I need to consider sleep.

    ReplyDelete
  79. @428,I mean, I'm doing my last read thru now. applying pagebreaks and all that. If it's late where you are, go to bed, though! I don't want to keep anyone up, and it'll be better in the morning anyway =)

    ReplyDelete
  80. I have school and work tomorrow so, although I may regret it in the morning (it would be worth it), I am going to stay up. Feel good that your story is worth sacrificing sleep. For me, this is a big deal.

    ReplyDelete
  81. SLEEPING IS GIVING IN
    (no matter what the time is)

    ReplyDelete
  82. And other lessons learned from Arcade Fire.

    ReplyDelete
  83. OMG I'M SO EXCITED JULES :D :D :D

    ReplyDelete
  84. Haha in the UK it's midday :) I literally just came back from uni as my afternoon lectures have been cancelled and have no plans for several hours. But to read LaT of course :)

    ReplyDelete
  85. SLEEPING < CHAPTER UPDATE. :D

    ReplyDelete
  87. Oh pleeease please update in the next hour, before i have to sit in a coach for the next 6 hours... i've been uploading my ebook reader with tons of fanfics, but a chapter of TLAT would be absolutely amazing :)

    ReplyDelete
  88. Jules, your last comment was half an hour ago D: YOU DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP DID YOU?!?!
    Nah, I'm kidding. Genius needs its beauty sleep. Wait, that didn't make much sense...

    ReplyDelete
  89. so i went to bed at midnight, woke up at 8 and was shocked to see that you pulled an all-nighter, jules.
    GO TO SLEEP.

    ReplyDelete
  90. There is no sleep happening here. Reading through still.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hahahaha potato, i did the same thing! It's impressive, but I'M still tired- I can't imagine how you feel, Jules!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'm fine now. Three hours ago I was dead, but now i'm fine.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Jules!!! I can't believe you haven't slept! I feel so bad!! Drink lots of coffee today! You are amazing though :)

    ReplyDelete
  94. Aw, Jules. :') We love you so much (and TLAT). Get plenty of rest right after you update.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  103. Jules, I honestly don't mind if you leave it and go to bed and finish later in the day or tomorrow or whatever. I'm actually feeling really bad for you right now, having to pull an all-nighter for us desperate fans. I even feel guilty :/

    Please tell me you have the day off from university/work today? I'll feel awful otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  104. BRB SHAKING & CRYING :D :D ;D :D

    ReplyDelete
  105. Lol, oh my god, no, don't feel bad.

    All nighters do a person some good every once in a while.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Yay! And then you'll go to bed, Jules?? You must!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Jules, I actually love you more than anyone else in the world right now.

    ReplyDelete

    Well, it might have been my fault, but still, fuck you fanfiction.net.

    It deleted a few of my edits. Whatever. It's fine. I just have to go through and add all the dividers. It'll be a few.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
