Well, I hate to say it...No, trust me I really do because it means it's actually true...but...My hard drive was destroyed. Okay..I'm not going to cry AGAIN. The other night, I woke up and my computer was extremely hot. So hot I couldn't even touch it. When I opened the laptop, the screen was black. I tried pushing buttons and what not but I couldn't get any kind of response from it...so, I shut the computer off. I went back to sleep and when I woke up again, my computer wouldn't start up.
Basically after a couple hours on the fone with Dell Support, I found out that my hard drive needs to be replaced...and that everything on it is gone. *insert tears here*
Now, obviously the stuff that i've already posted is saved on RF, *THANKFULLY* i might add. So, Spread 'Em, Pull Me Out..., Traveling Soldier, You Were Mine, Deliver Me, Surviving Liz Parker, and all my banners are saved.
However...my works in Progress were not so lucky.
The only work I actually have saved is what I had sent to either Raychel (Raychelxluscious) or Sarah Marie (LittleHottie510)...and unfortunately it's not much.
I'm really really sad to say this, but Something Worth Leaving Behind was completely lost. All i have left of it is the outline. The prologue, first part, and beginning of the second part were lost. Now, that's not too much to have to re-write, so this story may in fact be completed someday...but right now I'm so upset over this whole thing it's not going to be happening NEXT like it was supposed to.
SarahMarie *the new love of my life* had the first part of Not Your Average Superman on her computer. Which was a HUGE relief. So, when I actually get my computer back up and running, I'll end up posting that fic next. I don't know when that's going to happen though. Once I replace my hard drive (which will be sent to me next week), I still need to completely re-setup my whole computer. All my programs were lost, all my music, all my pictures. All my music videos...including one i had Just made and worked really hard on...All the clips I had downloaded...The AOL conversations from My senior year that were going to be used when I turned my journals into a book are also gone. I mean...this was a devastating loss for me. I know I should've been smarter and saved things on disks...I was actually planning on doing that but hadn't gone to the store to buy them yet...but now I at least know better.
Anyways, I'm not exactly sure when NYAS will be posted. My dad is going to take my hard drive and see if he can possibly restore anything...I lost all of 4 parts of We Are, 2 parts of Deep Inside of You, 1 Part of Crushed...if he can get anything, I'll probably be back sooner. But right now this is really upsetting. I had dreams about it last night, lol.
I hope you all can understand what's going on and be patient with me. I'll try to be back soon. Thank you all for the support you've given me so far with Feedback and Noms. It means the world to me and really helps right now when I want to toss my computer out the window and quit forever.
Love U All!!
