The Hard Drive Incident™ & Some Clarifications!

The Hard Drive Incident™ (Subsequently dubbed as HDI here on out) is the incident that I suffered around mid-April. 

Yes, I am way late but I realized I never really touched upon this in my account, just on my twitter (which, by the way, is linked below bois!) and to some comments around here. So, to make it brief, I lost my hard drive a few weeks ago when my electricity went crazy. The whole thing was really old and the electricity failures may have worn it off super fast to begin with, so nothing of that hard drive can be recovered, now can I even try to have a glance of what was IN there. Photos, albums, music, movies, notepads, all lost in the abyss.

May the hard drive Rest in Peace.

At first, it didn't strike me as much until I realized I lost ALL of my work and projects in there as well. Mind you, I didn't use google docs at the time because half the time I was without internet and it was easier to open up a Words document and get to it while Google Docs still pissed on me because I didn't have the 'offline' extension installed whEN I TOTALLY JUST INSTALLED IT.

The only projects that have survived amongst all the unlucky ones have been the finished drafts for already posted fanfics, a psychological/social thriller project I had going on for a contest (which I obviously retired from because I could not finish it in due time. Goodbye 100$ cash prize :C), and the Double Teamed Fanfic with Irene.  So, I'm very sorry to inform that a few of my fics are going ot end up in HIATUS or outright INCOMPLETE status. It all depends on how much I lost, how I can continue them, etc. A lot of one-shots I wrote for my friends went away with it, a lot of the personal favorites I've written disappeared, a lot of unfinished chapters for 'Love, Undiluted' are a goner aannddd... Virtual Kiss' PART III was under its way and coming along smoothly but now I have to start ALL OVER again.

So, where do we go from here?

The projects I will be working on are the ones that I have around but never really finished. They need heavy revision, but I can rewrite them and make them work, especially when they're at a perfect place to post them and work them as I go. Love, Undiluted is not done, and I refuse that story to be left incomplete, Virtual Kiss Pt. III is ON because I truly owe it to you guys, the Double D fic is also ON and I won't stop until I finish it. AND, I will be giving you guys a treat of the psychological/social thriller as well when it's all done. After all, I have no use to keep it for any contest, right?

I'm really sorry that the rest of my projects ended so abruptly, but I hope that in the future I get to revamp them or finish them, because I kind of owe it to myself as well. I invested time and emotions to them, I should try to put the 'COMPLETED' tag on them at least, right?


Yup! That's all I wanted to say. Stay safe out there darlings, please take a good care of yourselves. I may not talk to the lot of you and I may not even know some of you guys, but I truly hope you're doing fine. I'm worried, like the worry wart I am. So, please stay safe? That would make me really at peace.
