User blog:Zaffie/Contest Results and WEFOML

So, we'll start with WEFOML, which stands for Worst Epic Fail Of My Life. On Tuesday, the day I was supposed to be doing the judging of the entries in my story contest (although a bunch of people have asked for an extension...) the computer I use most often collapsed and died. Basically, the hard drive failed, taking with it the story that I have been working on for a year and a half, and was trying to get published. And, naturally, because I'm an idiot, I didn't have any backups, even though I'd been meaning to make some after the same computer got a virus a couple of weeks ago. So.... that REALLY sucks. The end of a year's work. DAMN! Needless to say, I am not in a good mood. I have no computer (doing this on my mother's, which I was lent for the day because I am sick and off school - Thank You Mother!!) and more importantly, all my stuff is gone, including the latest chapters for RoE2, which I was working on. So yeah... I'm really really sad. Still kinda hoping that they might be able to save my stuff - I only had one folder on the whole computer, which contained absolutely everything, but there isn't much chance of that. So, peoples, go back everything up RIGHT NOW! At least that way someone will learn from my mistakes. :-(

On the bright side, Narnia comes out tomorrow in Aus, and hopefully I will go see it! Looking forward to that. I've loved the Narnia films massively since I saw the first one when I was eight years old, and I totally blame the music in the credits for all my ambitions to make a film. Heh heh.

Okay, so the Contest Results will be out soon. Since two people asked me for an extension, the new judging date is NEXT Tuesday, (Star, you can give me your verdict some time after next Tuesday. I want scores out of ten for plot, character developement, and spelling/grammar((yes, people, that is a factor)) and also just a general comment. :D Thankee!) and I might not be able to come on very often between now and then, thanks to my new epic lack of a computer. Trying to save up to buy myself a laptop - I think I have about $200, which isn't good enough. So, people, if your contest story isn't finished, you have another six days to finish it, and I hope you all enjoy your lives with working computers. XD
