Title: Whatever Happened to the Storks that Fly at Midnight? (1/2

Comments

I don't think she's a Sue--I think she's realistic. I like your interpretation, based on what little we know of Julie thus far. Her want for a normal life is nigh-painful to read, and James' seeming oblivion makes me ache for her.

I eagerly await the other half =)

*g* thank you! I'm glad you took the time to read it. I was really worried that it wouldn't work. I'm still unsure how to approach the second part although there's a rough plot... *cringe*

I just hope that the boys didn't get into too much mischief in New York... *cringe* But life is rarely normal in Princeton-Plainsboro... *cough* anyway... I'm beginning to make no sense.

Thank you for your kind words... it means a lot!

You're one of those people where I come across a new fic and think, "Ooooh, it's going to be good!" I can't resist reading a new fic from you.

There are a few Britishisms that you don't generally come across in America, but other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever.

[pitza]

*g* thank you! *blush*

*whoops* you're always welcome to point it out, so I can get it changed or something... (or... Julie can be British... *g* that's probably pushing the canon boat a wee bit far...) Well, she likes tea... *g* I suppose that Britishism thing happens in the other fic too, doesn't it?

*g*

Wow, I really like this. It might just be that I'm extremely moody and... emo today, but honestly. Julie nearly made me cry. It's not out-right depressing, but the tone is so plaintive and hopeless, in a way.

Also, I don't believe Julie's a Sue, so no worries there. :P

I'll be looking for the next part some time soon, then!

[pitza]

*cringe* I hope it's not too depressing. I mean, I try not to... I mean, uh... (hmmm.. I don't know what I mean...)

Thank you for reading! *g*

I really enjoyed this. We know so little about Julie and it's easy to hate her (well, easier if you want House/Wilson like I do) but you made her a real woman with real emotions. Very, very nice job.

[pitza]

*g* thank you... I was very nervous when I set out to write this... I mean, one thing is obviously me not knowing much about her to start with, and second... I find it really hard to picture her in it (an avid H/W fan myself). I guess it's all credit to aheartfulofyou who wrote that wonderful Julie-fic the other day.

I hope Julie doesn't sound too emotional, or downtrodden, or too high in the sappy-count.

She doesn't know it, but we all know what the boys are up to in NY. Which of course is another story for another day, I suppose. I mean, life is probably rarely normal in Princeton-Plainsboro... but I hope I can keep it safely this side of bizarre. Anyway, do holler if you spot something weird! 'preciate your comments!

Thank you for reading! It does mean a whole lot... *g* and if you have any ideas... *g* Or maybe a thought of what kind of person Julie is?

The vibe I got from your Julie is "please, somebody, get me an antidepressant!" I felt like she was going to cry at every turn, and I understood why. I was actually kind of mad at Wilson for having no idea how depresed and insecure she is. Unusual take on her, not completely unrealistic. It's hard to realize that your life is nothing like you thought it would be, with an absentee husband, friends who have their own lives, odd little part-time job, biological clock ticking away. She probably feels invisible.

The jam metaphor is nice. I think that was my favorite part.

Well, Julie can be the Diazepam to House's Vicodin. Poor Wilson surrounded by pill-popping people...

*g* And Wilson'll definitely pay attention soon enough... *g* he's an observant fellow... well, I hope he is... He's a doctor anyway, paid to be observant. But with House running diversions... hmmmm...

I'll probably get clobbered by the housewife section of the fandom. But I observed some of my friends who are married into a very isolated life and... I don't like the view from the outside. It's so sad sometimes...

The jam? I received a get-well-soon prezzie from a friend in the shape of seville marmalade... i thought I was about to burst the gut lining... but it's bittersweet, very good food to help that spiral into depression... *g*

I'm weird, but I prefer bitter to sweet, lemon over chocolate any day! Except for the extra bittersweet chocolate that I took my name from.

I was briefly in a situation like Julie's, though as a girlfiend, not a wife, and I got the hell out with the encouragement of some good friends.

I wouldn't have a problem if you had Wilson realize that Julie is falling apart and respond in a not entirely compassionate manner that would ultimately benefit her, by telling her to get some help, basically on his way out the door. I don't know if you've had a chance to see "Acceptance" yet, but Wilson's scenes had him being cold in talking to House about Stacy and interacting with Cameron.

Smackdown Wilson is not entirely out of character, believe it or not.

Heee... I like bitter chocolates... I think the higher cocoa count the better for me. But I don't like bitter fruits...

I'll probably line Mabel up to play the messenger. Let's see if Wilson shoots her down before she can get to it. I'm sure Wilson would like to keep his marriage to a certain degree. Or maybe not?

But Julie has some tricks up her sleeves too. All be it very... uh... anyway. The only good thing about FOX not giving much details on Julie can only mean playday for fanfic writers... But I still like something to go with.

Is 'Acceptance' the new epi? *hangs head* times like these I really regret not having cable/digital. Wilson & Cameron? That's going to be an interesting development... my oh my.

Wow, nice job! Glad I stumbled across it! Don't find too many fics out there that have Julie a nice person. We all just assume that she isn't...any excuse to keep Wilson from looking like a jerk and to give him all the more reason to visit House :)
Looking forward to seeing more of this...there is going to be more, right? *Begs*

[pitza]

*g* the whole series is a hotbed for some abnormal relationship issues... *g* It's just weird, IMO. Wilson is probably very confused, poor sod... *g*

There's going to be some more, but I'm still confused how to write the flipside. I don't want to make Julie into a depressed desperate housewife, don't want Wilson to come across as a jerk, and hopefully not make House into some kind of marriage wrecker... 'Cause they aren't... They're just... confused. Which makes me confused... but therein lies their charm, I suppose...

Cuddy and the three musketeers have yet to make an appearance... *sigh*

But thank you for reading and taking the time to comment! It means a lot!
