Well, this sucks

So, last night, after I posted my latest story, I saved that file, and that was fine. And I was off to bed, so I went to save the other three story files and I had open, and they wouldn't save because it said the flash drive was corrupted or some such thing, which had apparently happened in the literal five seconds between saving one file and trying to save another. So, I saved those three files to another drive, and took the flash drive out to see if reloading it helped.

And now my flash drive is a mess and I can't access any of my stories. And I don't have them backed up, because I keep them on the flash drive so they are safe, ironically.

Good news: three of the active stories I was working on are safe.
Bad news: literally everything else is possibly gone.
Good news: let's be honest, the majority of those stories were fragments that I wouldn't finish anyway.
Bad news: I lost a few stories that I'm really bummed out about, and a lot of character development stuff.
Good news: I have a pretty good memory to help me put them back together.
Bad news: Oh, dear God, why?!

So, I haven't quite given up hope yet, and I'm trying to find a solution, or even somewhere professional to take it, and either way, it's not the end of the world.

But...fuck this shit.

My WiFi is named JARVIS.

Best idea ever! I now regret not getting more creative when I had to recently re-name my WiFi.

I'd like to think that's because of me. I have no regrets!

Not wanting to lose my previous identity, I made the romance angsty.

The three stories that were rescued are a Angie/Bond 'verse Christmas one (I tossed him in there, but I'm not entirely sure he'll remain, I may switch it to generic Agent Carter characters have Christmas together)

I hope Bond gets to stay. After watching Spectre, I got re-inspired to visit the world of Bond, Q, and those Holmes geniuses who canonically are not related to Q in anyway but the actors make it so easy.

I think it might have reverted to the default name recently, but at one time it was totally JARVIS.

That's my girl!

I think he will. He and Angie are having some fun flirting with each other, as they do. I enjoy them together very much. I like the idea of them both living their lives and doing their thing, and casually getting together to have fun when they feel like it, and that working for them.

I'm just trying to decide how fluffy I want it to get. Bond can either be vaguely sweet or slightly more sweet. Knowing me, he'll probably be doing the latter.

I won't be seeing Spectre until it comes out on PPV or somewhere, but in the meantime, I'm free to AU as I like, I suppose. :-)
