The Universe

The Harry Potter books exist in James and Lily’s universe. (clavisa)

Acting History

Lily starred in a “teen witches movie” last summer. (yulinkuang) The film was called Spelling Lessons and was about a high school senior named Sally Sowerby who “must decide whether she will live a life of normalcy with humans, or a life of surprises in the magical world.” (belovedcreation) The film received a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics consensus being that “charming leads and supporting cast aside, the film adapts its source material too literally and fails to rise above or even meet expectations of the teen magic genre.” (shipwreckedcomedy)

James and Lily met at a “CW pilot” last year. They had “like, one scene together.” (yulinkuang) The pilot was for a TV adaptation of Warm Bodies. (spinstermoderne) James curiously watched Lily eat a peach on set. (rosieramblings)

James has been turned down for a lot of roles recently because casting directors “don’t see much romance appeal in his demo reel.” (rosieramblings)

Casting

Ben, a recent UCLA grad and nephew of one of the producers, also auditioned for the role of James. (yulinkuang)

Nancy, the casting director for the film, drinks “greenish juice that looks unappetizingly healthy.” (yulinkuang)

During the Scene

Lily “doesn’t appreciate the tongue.” (Kyrie-Anne) “THE TONGUE SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN.” (prettyfaroutman) Lily thought James may have left his gum behind her molar. (genderific) Lily “won’t stop talking about [James’s] overuse of tongue.” (rosieramblings).

Lily has conflicted feelings about the glasses James wears in the scene. (Kyrie-Anne)

Lily wipes her face after the “cut” because she can still feel the rainwater on her face from when James was kissing her. She’s distracted by the “lingering evidence of how close they’d been just moments before.” (untiltheveryend)

After the Scene

James goes to “the pub he wanted to bring Lily to.” He orders a pomegranate martini and mini burger sliders. He does not order mozzarella sticks. (imagineagreatadventure) The mini burger sliders are gluten-free. (shipwreckedcomedy)

James visits the Starbucks where Lily works. He orders a grande half-caf hazelnut mocha (presumably with soy milk) and a slice of pound cake. (aeternamente) It’s gluten-free pound cake. (shipwreckedcomedy) He buys the pound cake (even though he can’t eat it) “just to stall.” (ekth) “The second time he buys a banana, the third time he buys an apple, and the fourth time she isn’t there, so he stops going. […] There’s a Coffee Bean across the street that has gluten-free walnut muffins.” (shipwreckedcomedy)

About Lily

Lily is allergic to gluten. (yulinkuang)

Lily is “no stranger to onscreen kisses.” (untiltheveryend)

Rumor has it that Lily’s hair color is “from a bottle.” (rosieramblings)

Lily currently works at Starbucks between projects to support her acting career. (aeternamente, shipwreckedcomedy)

Lily’s friend Pam ships Lily/James because of Harry Potter, but Lily “[doesn’t] date costars, especially ones as awkward as that guy.” (clavisa)

About James

James is allergic to milk, eggs, wheat, and tomatoes. (spinstermoderne)

James has never done an onscreen kiss before. (rosieramblings)

James has had several steady girlfriends. ”One girl remarked [James] had a nice tongue, so he tried to use it often.” (rosieramblings) He had a girlfriend named Lily just after high school. He “liked how their names seemed to fit together.” This Lily was not a redhead. (clavisa)

James once made out with his best friend Sirius, resulting in the realization that James was straight and Sirius was bisexual. (rosieramblings)

James is not very coordinated. (ankahikoibaat)

James and Sirius have joked about the fact that they have the same names as Harry Potter characters, but decided it was “just a weird coincidence” since “they totally met each other the year before Pottermania swept the globe.” (clavisa)

Thanks to emilyhopebunny for volunteering to compile these daily Kissing in the Rain fan canon summaries! We look forward to her work as the transmedia archivist on projectaogg as well.

These daily summaries will be posted by Emily Hope and reblogged to the official shipwreckedcomedy tumblr, but not to the lilyandjameskitr tumblr, which exists mostly for archival purposes/reader convenience of all canonized posts.

Hope this is helpful for our Fan Canon experiment participants! As always, if you have any questions for us, our ask box is open.

Much love,

Shipwrecked

I love this with a love that is more than love

Tags: obsessive marshalling of metadata, is something I can very much appreciate, and do in this case.
