long and useless

Bad news first: unless I get that disk back, my Fruits Basket fic starring Akito is really and truly gone.

Good news: Using our school's FTP, I discovered that I had saved a version of my Witch Hunter Robin fic a few days before I lost the disk, so nearly all of it is there. it's missing a few chunks, but far less daunting than than the total loss of Akito. *stares at her FB manga*

I've recovered my Bleach fanfic, the FFVII Yuffie and Vincent piece I was working, and part of the Percy post-OoTP fic. But none of the drabbles or even a teeny bit of the SS/SB fic that actually was progressing. Slowly, but it was progressing, so the loss is felt more acutely than the five other Fruits Basket fics. Why? I can reasonably recreate them, since they were all relatively short and I think I can probably make it better by having to rewrite it, but SS/SB is torturous; I'm already bad at writing them. Losing weeks and weeks of plodding says nothing but HELL!

I'm going to hold out on rewriting until I'm absolutely sure the disk is gone. It might be that someone shoved it into the corner of one these places and the janitor or lab techs may find it lurking around. I'm also hoping, on the off-chance, that someone did find it, and just hasn't gotten around to returning it yet. It's possible.

And before I forget, ( This is for Nemkess: Further translation in the FB manga )

Whew, that took a long time! Even if I have lost my disk, at least I did something today. XD
