PSA: Shit
Okay this is fucking shitty but I might have to rewrite all of the oneshot. Last night my cat knocked over my water bottle onto my laptop. I have to let the laptop set to the side, off and turned upside down, for 3-4 days before I can turn it on and see if it still works. It's been randomly turning itself on, so I have hope that only the keyboard is damaged. If so I can get a USB keyboard and transfer Prince of Wolves (the homin oneshot) and a lot of other half-started fics that are on there onto a USB drive. My mother has a laptop she isn't using that she says I can borrow if I need to until I get another laptop (hopefully my father will have pity on me and get me one when he gets back to the States in February). It's just these files. So many files.
Why this isn't a whole issue is that I write everything by hand before typing it, so I have hard copies of mostly everything (not Ring Bearer, I believe, but it's been so long since I've worked on it that starting from scratch wouldn't be an issue). But Prince of Wolves? Losing that would be a cruel joke. I didn't have the starting passage written down because I couldn't think of it, so I'm over here trying to write down what I remember of it. There's so much that was edited in the digital copy, as well, like histories and factoids and small things that I didn't think of until I was typing. So much editing.
If I have indeed lost it for forever, I'll bite the bullet and rewrite it, but that'll take so much longer than I intended to be writing this, and FaC will be pushed back even farther.
I'm so sorry guys.
