u should rly make a juliantina faq ? i feel bad ppl are using you as a one stop all the lilies info service. televisa should be paying you

For answering a few questions? Lol, I wish. I don’t mind answering them, at all. 

I just don’t want to bother my followers, the majority of whom did not follow me for this. The stuff that’s been answered before would be answered more quickly if they were able to look at one place and those must be extra annoying for the followers. As it is, I’m trying to space it out, although some people have figured out that if they ask while I’m answering others, I’m more likely to answer those as well. I’m also trying to do the earlier ones first but I’m absolutely terrible at that.

i would love an extension of the show bc i dont want to give up Juliantina but story wise since they are already done filming, it doesn’t seem likely and it’s pretty clear from this show.. there is a definite goal and storyline and once it is done, you really can’t go back. Actually, i hope bc of the popularity of the show that Maca & Barbi get a magazine cover & continue to challenge censorship in Mexico. That’d be dope.

Yeah, stories that you have to force aren’t as good.

It’ll be interesting what happens in the aftermath, they’re currently riding a wave of popularity and goodwill. helped by how personable and appealing they are and how sympathetic and wholesome the ship is. Will other series and networks want to cash in? Will either of these two play f/f roles again any time soon? We’ll have to see where we are when it all ends, I guess.

Quick history lesson: back in the 90’s televisa’s telenovelas were around 80-90 episodes if the telenovela was really successful they will add 10-20 episodes which was possible because sometimes telenovelas wrapped their filming the same week the finale aired. Then the length of hit shows got out of hand, some telenovelas aired for a couple of years having 160-200 episodes so Televisa was very criticized for lowering the quality of the products and people stop watching telenovelas

So they changed the strategy, they limited all their telenovelas to 80-90 again and they filmed way before it was aired so they couldn’t change much. But when a Telenovela has a lot of impact in the audience they get the green light for a “second season” but is more like, instead of having a super long telenovela with 160 episodes, you have the telenovela showed in two or three different phases.

Good to know, although in the case of here, I’m not sure how it’d affect things? Wouldn’t it be difficult to get these actors back together for another new season? And it’s such a definitive premise, you’d think it would be hard pressed to find a new plot for them. I don’t want either of my girls dead or switching bodies. 😡

Are there any english fics for Juliantina? Thanks!

You know, I didn’t even think to look for them. When canon is doing so well, I find myself reading less. Even though it is often a kind of meta and filling in details.

Looks like AO3 hasn’t given them their own tag yet but people have started posting them. Hah, a con AU. I figured there’d be one like that. Ooh, a soulmate marking AU. I mean, is there any canon ship that works better for than these two? 

People can feel free to rec their faves or mention their own. 😮
