Hey look I'm not dead yay meh · 9:33am Mar 15th, 2015
How many of these "Sorry for being dead" posts have I made? I didn't actually count before I started typing this, but I think maybe 2 or 3. This is the second time I've started a story on Fimfiction, only to go hiatus. Before, it was laziness and disinterest. But now, it was just disinterest. But a different kind of disinterest.
A kind of disinterest you get when you decide to wait until the entire story is finished, typing every chapter so that you don't keep people waiting, so that you can stick to a schedule and not have these stupid hiatuses... and have it all be deleted.
My entire Google Drive was emptied. Everything. Every story, every college document, my resume; all of it, gone. I contacted customer support, looked online, but it's just all gone and I can't get it back.
Now obviously the college documents are more important -well, eh, most were from the semester prior- but they're not what I'm most upset about. It's losing that entire, nearly-finished story. I was finally gonna finish something ahead of time, instead of going along as I write. And the moment I realized I was gonna have to type it all, over, again... I lost interest. I didn't want to type it all out again. I didn't want to remember every single gag, joke, twist, clever piece of dialogue that I had written. And so, I just backed off again.
This happened mid-January.
So, me typing this is probably giving you one of two ideas; either I'm gonna continue, or I'm going to stop it altogether. Well, obviously I'm going to continue. But I can't promise you when I'll have it ready.
As I slowly try to recreate what I had, I'm going to be working on other projects as well, to keep me from losing my mind. A few one-offs, maybe a new crossover altogether. But I need time to recreate what I lost.
To the people that never unfollowed me after the FIRST iteration of The Doctor Is In, thank you. To the people that actually read this blog, thank you. To the Google employee that wiped my Drive, fuck you, and in the slim chance that it was my fault, fuck me.
I'll end this post with a hint as to the next fic I'm posting to the account:
Yeah. Ain't he just adorable.
Oh man, that sucks. And it's kinda terrifying. We're supposed to be able to count on online backups!
