    Delays and Requests

    Ohai there fellows. Good to see you again.

    To cut a long story short: due to life being life, the second act of P&P will be ever so slightly delayed. Maybe 2 weeks to start coming out or something. Sorry about that!

    ...The laptop that has been insanely reliable for two years now, and hasn't crashed on me once, actually does crash when I'm in the middle of my writing flow.

    ...

    Thankfully, I seem to have only lost around 2,000 words.

    On the other hand... I lost 2,000 words.

    All queued up!

    Well folks, we've hit the point of no return. Predictions and Prophecies is in the submission queue.

    We're through the looking glass, people...

    Get it? Because looking glass? And mirrors? And... Uh... Pinkie Pie?

    ...Anyway.

    It's coming.

    It's taken far longer than it should have, and I've had to change so damn much just to get the first chapter(s) actually decent enough to make anybody want to read the rest.

    But, at long last, it's all coming together.

    What a Christmas present for me: Live Reading of 'Endure'

    This was a nice thing to find waiting for me on Christmas Eve morning!

    The Living Library Player Society looks to have done a bumper crop of live readings of fics, and that old 'Endure' story of mine that I'd pretty much forgotten about by this point was one of them!

that has to suck so hard. Luckily i've been fortunate enough (or unfortunate enough?) to have had plenty of computer crashes throughout my life. I always save the file before I even have anything written, and hit Ctrl + S every 5 to 10 minutes just in case. IT HAS saved my ass a few times before.

713223 I know what you mean; my desktop PC used to bluescreen me all the damn time while I was building it into a gaming rig, and I got very used to saving whatever I was working on every 10-20 minutes. Apparently, though, that skill didn't pass over to this laptop; either that, or it lulled me into a false sense of security with its (until now) impeccable reliability.
