    <content type="html">Well ... I'm depressed, in a sort of mourning period.  My computer had some blue screen error issues so (it's a Dell) I proceeded to implement a factory reset.  Unfortunately, the damn thing froze during the reset's reinstall.  I restarted my machine after being in a freeze holding pattern for 13 hours.  It returned to continuing the reset.  Unfortunately, it didn't keep my selected folders and files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND ... my backup My Book external drive was corrupted by the corrupted computer so ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every goddamn thing is gone.  All my art.  All my files.  All my new fiction files.  Everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PoG -- I'm gonna have to start all over again. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JDJ -- I'm gonna have to start all over again. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One plus is that I'd uploaded almost everything to my website and AO3.  And there're the old backups for old semi-useful stuff I saved, like character backgrounds and my own Trinity story bits.  I am a fucking stupid ass for not triple-checking that my files had been saved online.  All I have are old backups.  OLD.  BACKUPS.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am seriously depressed about this.  ****seriously****  It's like I've lost a child (for those who have lost a real one, my apologies and no offense intended).  This stuff was/is important to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now get to start over again.  Yay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;::headdesk::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=riverfox&amp;ditemid=49905" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
