I wonder if someone else out there is also yearning for this every now and then

OOOOOH very intrigued by james potter the great? 👀

Here you go! And here's an extra snippet:

She sighs dramatically. “Yes, yes, I’ve had scouters recommend Mudbloods to me too. They join the team fresh and starry-eyed after Hogwarts and never amount to anything.” “Maybe you don’t know how to train them. Coach Villeneuve didn’t have the same problem when the Poitier Pélicans won the European Cup with three Muggleborns in the roster.” The woman’s face turns purple at the words, and judging by the way she twitches, Lily can imagine that, were she not holding a glass, she would be pulling up her sleeves. “I hope you have no intention of ever playing professionally, Mr Potter. The way you speak to your elders will be making the rounds in the League, and I can’t see it being appreciated.” “Fortunately for me,” James Potter responds without the tiniest flinch, “I do, in fact, have other talents than yelling at people and throwing balls around.” His hand reaches for the small of Lily’s back; she almost jumps at the contact, but disguises it as turning to look at him. “As does Lily.” He looks at her, something unassumingly soft in his hazel eyes despite the tension in his manner. “How about we find some more intellectually stimulating company?”

Being the biggest nerd ever I made an iceberg for all the JPTG lore and cut content that I know of

James Potter the Great? What's that about?

So, funny story!

You know The Great James Potter. This one came from a first draft of the first 4-5 pages, which lived on my external hard drive and which I went through when I started writing again. I knew I'd worked more on it at some point after 2013, but couldn't find the newer file.

Well, I did find the newer file about a year ago in my emails as an attachment to a friend/beta, so James Potter the Great (working title xD) is what I'm going to do with those bits I didn't manage to incorporate in TGJP! In order not to write the same story twice, though, I decided to give Lily a different journey this time - more focused on the challenge of being Muggleborn and how she ends up with someone who the public considers "out of her league". I'm aiming for a long oneshot - I'm 5k words in it and nowhere near halfway.

Here's a snippet:

“What –” she repeats, incredulously now. “You don’t really believe –” “No, but they do.” Mary’s eyes flash. “And they’re all going to make your life a living hell if you set your eyes on a pureblood. You have to be careful.” Lily can only huff in response.  Mary is Muggleborn herself, and she has been the target of pureblood awfulness a little too often for her liking; more often than Lily, who is a prefect, a teachers’ favourite, and infinitely more likely to retaliate. It’s only natural that she’s learned to watch her back, and she cares enough to not want her friend to find herself in the same position. Yet, the fact that she’s right does not quell Lily’s indignation. They’re all witches here, Lily more capable than most, thank you very much, and quite pretty as well, if she says so herself. She should be free to fancy whoever she bloody well wants to. (Not that she fancies James Potter. But, you know. If she wanted to.)

Dr. Laura Sorkin and juvenile Gallimimus

[sweetener91]

I kinda really want to know about the alternative marine scenes

Only a bit from what I know

1. Nima was supposed to have breathing issues/panic attack under water and Jess and Gerry would have to calm her down

2. Dr. Sorkin wouldn't betray them as early and would be the lead character in the scenario where they unlock the elevator, alongside Gerry. She would only change her mind once they were down in the rotunda.

3. In the same scene, Sorkin would discuss some more lore for the marine exhibit.

Jess would ask what's the point of the exhibit, to which Gerry would say he's not sure since he's not in charge of taking care of any marine species, and theorising it might just be for "living fossils" (coelacanth, horseshoe crabs, nautilus, etc). Sorkin would budge in to say Gerry doesn't know everything and that they have marine biologists working on site for the facility.

Gerry goes to ask if that means that they have something like a Plesiosaurus in there. To which Sorkin responds "Something like that." She later explains that it's a Tylosaurus (mentioned by name this time), and that they apparently used to bask on beaches and riverbeds as they apparently do have a mosquito sample for that one. She eventually lies and says that the original specimen died after a few months and that she is not aware if they had cloned a second one.

Wow, did Hesperonychus get cut? :o

Pretty much

It was only mentioned in dialogue but it did sound like it was living in the park from that
