Two weeks ago, my computer died on me - and due to a series of what basically amounts to the pc equivalents of amusing pratfalls and pies in the face (or rather the mainboard), it's taken me until now to get a new system up and running. Before you ask, no, I hadn't made a proper safety copy of all my data. I have always been obsessive about backing everything up... except for the last couple of months, when I relaxed because I had a brand-new harddrive and too much trust in the universe. (Yeah, you can already hear the audience beginning to chortle as the pie is raised.)
To summarize: Argh.
Still, subtract the stress of suddenly being thrust into a pc-less world and the damage isn't that bad. I have the latest versions of my most important files, by which I mean my various writing endeavors. :-) The rest, I can beg, borrow and/or steal, as appropriate. (Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solo___ and k_julia, for letting me. *g*)
But. Uhm. There's this new thing. I hesitate to call it a fandom just yet, especially since I have of course managed to slide into it ass-backwards and wrong way up and then compounded the problem by insisting on not actually being interested in any of the main pairings that anyone *else* in the world is interested in. Noooo, of course I had to go and find myself a corner of the new playground in which I am absolutely alone. And then collect a huge bunch of pics and info and videos in a very short time and start writing a story at breakneck speeds - and then have the data go poof and the story stall for lack of a real computer to write it on.
Argh, squared.
Vague enough yet? *g* Yeah, you'll hear more about this new thing (TM) soon, when I have gathered the resolve to out myself. Just let me whine a bit first. ;-)
Anyway! If anything interesting / exciting / wonderful happened in the last two weeks that you think I should know about, please let me know!
Also, just how subsceptible are you guys to pimpage...?
Why I ask? Oh... no particular reason. *whistles*
