Today's discussion topic:



What's the strangest fic near miss you've had?

Today has not even started yet and I managed to finish a chapter for my life fanfiction. What's more I really enjoyed writing it and if I wasn't so extremly tired (yeah technically it is already the 27th but I haven't slept tonight, yet) I probably go on writing.

I can't say I ever washed something that was not supposed to be washed, which is why I always hated it if my mom did my laundry.

I have free time at last, but I'm ready for bed. So I guess it will be another day of not writing for me!

I was working on an awesome chapter when my laptop hard drive started to go -- it was clicking in the oddest way and freezing up. I was desperate not to lose what I had been writing because it wasn't backed up in any way, and I also had other chapters that weren't backed up. So I restarted the computer over and over again and slowly but surely got all my story stuff off the computer onto a floppy disk (this was an old laptop, a long time ago!), before the hard drive quit all together. Whew!

I haven't started any fic, but I wrote pimping post instead. I guess it counts as some form of fanwork, sort of.

I write whenever I can so I write more than once on scrap paper. I have quite a collection of them.

Yesterday was a day for waiting in for builders and important phone calls and while I was stuck indoors I finished chapter 1 of my goal fic and have almost finished chapter 2. Hopefully I can get that finished tonight or tomorrow then focus on chapter 3.

A few years ago when I moved (I've moved around a lot) I had a fic in an exercise book and it almost went in the black bag with the charity shop donations.
