I finally, finally finished Chapter 20 of my Avengers omega-verse A Tale Of Starry Nights. Because this is the last chapter of Book 1, and an important turning point, basically the point I wanted to hulk-smash everything and everyone to begin the process of careful healing in Book 2, it took me ages and kind of emotionally exhausted me during the last days.
I sent it off to my beta and made a plan for the next week, which consisted of working on a Snarry/Merlin crossover I've been working on and off for ages, finishing another Snarry I was writing on, starting Chapter One of Book 2 of A Tale Of Starry Nights, working on a Thorinduil I had begun a few weeks ago.
So, now comes the part where I tell you I once created a partition in my macbook which only I could access via s super-secret password. I used this partition without any problems for three years, from 2011 to March 2014.
Then I changed computers, saved the partition on an external HD. I only loaded the fics I was currently working on, onto my macbook, but saved them back on the passworded partition on my macbook. In June or July I remember I saved two things onto my macbook, the drafts for chapters 16/17/18/19 of ATOSN, drafts for a few chapters, max. 2-3 for How To Train A New Pet.
Since then I haven't logged onto that partition.
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN IT TODAY 😨!
I've got a whole pile of finished and unfinished fics on that damned partition and I have already tried more than 200 passwords and I just can't seem to open that bloody thing and it is killing me!
I can't believe I did such a stupid noob thing!!!
BOTH MY SNARRIES ARE ON THERE, one of them had already several chapters and was like 30,000 words, the other the same! I know I can start anew, but OMG I want to scream and strangle something.
Oh, just remembered my Thorinduil was on there too. Also my entire "IDEAS FOR NEW FICS" folder is on there, OMG I NEED A DRINK!
💀💀💀💀💀💩💩💩😭😱😩🔫💣🔪🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸🍷
SO DONE FOR TODAY TBH.
