For those who read it, Through the years has suffered a slight hiccup. My computer decided that it would die, while I was in hte process of working on part 20. I lost it all, plus two other story ideas I had open. I usually save it to my portable hard drive (i mean who wouldn't, it's got like 1 T of space to save things on) but before I could get to that point, the computer gave up the fight.
So I am trying my best to re-write the story to where I had it

awww shucks! :--(
ow well, as long as you don't die with you copmputer I guess it's not so bad :p
if I had and I'm still writing,
I would either be the most dedicated writer ever, or a very bored and or lazy Zombie
*grumble*
Happened to me a few times.

Used to have a laptop. That's why I got the portable hard drive.
Now for hte fun of putting all 100 GB of music back on my computer
Awwww!!!! :(
Aww, that really stinks! I've been following that story with great interest. As a writer, I know how hard it is to lose a story to computer errors. But on the bright side, at least it's only one chapter. I've lost an entire story to a computer error before. This was back in the days of floppy discs too, I thought I was so clever backing my story up on a floppy... So I insert the floppy and what happens? Floppy error. -.-
Oh well, this is NOT about me! I'm sure you'll re-write that chapter in no time and it'll be even better. With your skills how could it not be?
Back in the days when I
Back in the days when I still used floppies, I learn to keep at least two copies on floopie. One occasion, I had the primary and the three floppy go bad, sigh.
Way back in the day
of floppy.... hehe.
I recall staying up late one night, working on a report for school. Was to be either typed and could be done on hte computer. Was about to save when we lost the power. five hours of work down the tubes.
Then another time, my Dad was playing a video game and hadn't saved it in a long time. He was headed to the save spot when we heard the car racing down the road. He had just hit the menu for "would you like to save" when we heard the squealing tires. and as he clicked on yes, the power failed as the dude hit a power line. After that he saves like every twenty minutes now, if the game will allow it
lmao
Yup! I learned that lesson well. In the days of the N64 if you played it too long even a *slight* nudge to the machine would cause it to freeze. Many a games were lost to that.
I've learned to save as *often* as I can. Heck, on computer games I'm tapping F5 every minute or so if they give me the option for auto-save. Mostly *that* habit comes from playing Elder Scrolls IV, Bethesda tends to release unstable games. They like to crash every hour ON the hour. At least, for me they do.
