Nooooo!!! Did your computer make a backup file by any chance?

*desperately ships you a replacement bunny*

[dreamflower]

No, of course not! And I was writing along so splendidly that I forgot to hit save every couple of sentences, like I normally obsessively do...isn't that *always* the way?

*sniff*

I'll try to start over, but I just *know* it won't be as good this time...

I just *hate* that little box that says "We are sorry for the inconvenience, but Microsoft Works needs to close now."

Inconvenience? INCONVENIENCE?!?!? *aarrgghh!!*

[maidenform.livejournal.com]

Damn computers.

Please friend me back, by the way.

[dreamflower]

I agree.

And--

done.

Bad computer! *sends computer to time out*

Too bad about that. Hopefully you remember enough of it not to have to start from scratch. But still, grrrrrr!

[dreamflower]

I'm going to sleep on it, and see if I can get it back in the morning. I think. If not, I will just have to forget about it...

*sigh* It was coming along so well...

Thus proving my long-held theory that computers are EVIL, WICKED devices of SATAN!!!

But how could we get hobbit-fic without them? Doomed, we are.

R.I.P. Dreamflower's Shirebunny :(

[dreamflower]

I'm going to try and resurrect it in the morning. *sigh*

Evil computer!!! Give it a good smack on the nose 'er uh...screen.

[dreamflower]

Consider it smacked.

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's very bad! :'(

[dreamflower]

Yes.
Very.
Bad.
Indeed.

I just hate when that happens. I've lost several things that way. I do love my computer but I hate it when it decides to play editor.

[dreamflower]

It's Titivillus. It's got to be Titivillus' fault. He's mad because I'm not doing so much calligraphy for him to mess up. So now he's interfering with my fics...

Who's Titivillus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titivillus

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

Titivillus edits all of my writing! I didn't know his name before but I think he's been working overtime on some of my stuff. He can't spell, can he? LOL

[dreamflower]

Oh, *he* can spell just fine--it's why he gets such a kick out of making mistakes--he knows just the letters to put wrong, the homonym he can sneak past the spellchecker, the phrase that you could have *sworn* you put down differently. I think he messes with the formatting at the archives too. Evil!Spellchecker is his ally, I am shoor srue puresure...

Think of him as the Anti-beta!

[gryffinjack.livejournal.com]

How horrible! I hate when that happens! That is one saving grace about working in Word Perfect as opposed to Word, if the computer experiences a problem like that when I am using Word Perfect, if I do a hard shutdown of the computer without closing the program, most if not all of my document or story will have been saved as a backup file when I restart my computer and open Word Perfect again.

This is rather selfish of me, but...please tell me this is not *our* shire bunny!

Poor Barbara! ((((hugs)))

[dreamflower]

No, no fortunately. I am keeping that in two different files: one on Wordpad and one on Works. (I have discovered that people can open my Wordpad files, but not the Works ones, but I can't really *work* on Wordpad. There's no spellchecker or thesaurus on it, and it won't let me paste.) This was a bunny from Shirebound's bunnyfiles that chomped down *hard* yesterday. *sigh* I don't know if I'll be able to resurrect it or not.

I'm also hoping to send you a couple of bits regarding "our" bunny later today.

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

That's horrible! *pets you* *kicks MS Works*

[etharei.livejournal.com]

Eeeeek! Silly computer!

I hope it comes back in the morning. You can always give it a good try, it might end up being better than the original! And you know that we'll love anything you write, anyway ^_^ *huggles*

[frodobaggins-88.livejournal.com]

That's always so utterly frustrating when that happens! *sends hobbits to help console you* Hopefully it comes back to you.

Does the program not have the 'auto-save' feature?
