Very, very frustraded

Apr 09, 2010 16:12

Everything could be great. Rena was visiting, we talked, we wrote, we had fun.
Then yesterday my USB-Stick broke.
EVERYTHING I wrote was on that thing. Original and Fanfiction. EVERYTHING.
It is broken beyond repair I am told.

I think I am depressed.

Depending on how you broke it, you might be able to solder it back together.

well *broke* is perhaps the wrong word. The thing just refuses to work. All I get are error-messages. The person at the computer-shop said that there *might* be a chance to safe some data - if I were willing to spend nearly 1000 Euro (without guaranty that it would work)

Thankfully Rena had most of my stuff on her hard drive. Just the original stories are gone *sniff*

That sucks, in the future, back everything up in more than one place. Go for SSD over a moving disk and then you can whack them for all they are worth. Hope no new Thoth stuff was on there! *one of the many die hard fans*

Oh, you can bet that I'll create backups in the future.
And there wasn't any *new* Thoth lost - just my rewrite of the first two chapters (which isn't as bad as it sounds). Everything really new I had sent to rena_lime, so it isn't totally lost.
*G* Nice to know that despite my slow progress there are still fans out there!

*and why the h*** do I not get any e-mail notification of the comments in this thread?*

I uhnuh. Maybe it is not set in your settings? Go through them and see if you can fix it that way? You can also back up to live journal and your email.

meanthis May 11 2010, 18:28:04 UTC

nope, not it. Tried that already. The funny thing is that I am getting the e-mails for all other threads and comments.

*shrugs* I just have to look at the little message-icon at the livejournal sites more often.

I have something funny for you:

P.S. The first is 'The Ten Commandments of FanFiction' and the second is 'Art of the Deal' which features a naive Daniel to say the least.

Thanks for the fun-stuff. :-)
