Apologies ... again!

Just so you're not all up waiting (pfft?), I'm really sorry but there's not going to be an update tonight. I had written a massive chunk of Silver'Verse, only for my computer to crash and then not believe me when I told it I *had* saved it. *grumbles incoherently*

"Cannot Locate File" my fookin arse!

If I find, I shall post. If not, I'm going to have to start again.


¬_¬ stoopid laptop.


In my last fic update, an number of you expressed concern over my being hit around the head with a book. I urge you all not to worry: it was my useless but rather evil boyfriend checking to make sure my headache was still there.



He is now caressing his balls in regret.






:P

That sucks! I hope your endeavors to save the chapter work out. And if it doesn't a small word of hope from someone of which this has happened to before: if a chapter dies it's the computer's way of telling you that you can make it even better than before!

*sigh*

If my computer is getting critical of my work, it proves I'm not insane when I talk to it, right?

[identity profile] queen-insane.livejournal.com 2009-08-16 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not so much that it's critical bad that its critical good knows that your work is good but also knows that it can be so much better!

... or something.

But no you are not crazy I talk to my computer sometimes too.

Ah, technology. 'Tis a wonderful thing. I talk to my computer all the time, mostly when it won't do what I want it to like download lovely files of lovely men doing lovely kissing. :) Also I talk to my cat who never answers but looks at me in an understanding sort of way. Looking forward to the next chapter whenever it comes our way. Not impatient, not impatient at all. Not... at.... all.... ;)

not so good on the laptop thing...it has happened to many a person, usually when theres an important document. Hope you find it! If not, anything you write is amazing!

Stupid laptop. I hate when it does that :(


Ow Ow Ow! You made me laugh. I can't laugh, it hurt my mouth (stupid wisdom teeth) Ow Ow Ow! xD

What else are significant others for, if not to hit us with books?

Grrr! *glares at evil laptop* I can send Ianto over with his gun to threaten it? Think it'd help? And if not... you still get to look at Ianto. ;D

As he should be. You let him off lightly I think.

Definitely looking forward to the next chapter, whenever it comes out. You're too good to us with all this quick updating as it is!

[identity profile] paraxenos.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
So it says it's there, but the file won't open? O.o that's... Random... :/

Caressing, or checking to make sure they're still there? xD I agree with fancieflights, that you let him off easy. He should have a book instead of balls.

Oh I HATE when my computer does that! A suggestion to help that (I do it myself)- there is an option on Office (if you use it) to make automatic backups of all files made. If you turn it on it will automatically save an EXTRA copy of whatever you're working on. It saved my life last semester when my computer lost my 21 page paper for Social Reason and Psychology.

Good for you- he deserved it if he's doing stupid shit. When I get migraines I usually sleep until it's gone and growl at people who bother me.

[identity profile] a-silver-story.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Thing is ... I have that option switched on! But it autosaved a blank and is refusing to open the original file. Autosave has saved my life before now, I'll admit - but I wish it would just bloody work this time!

I'm sorry **hugs**

[identity profile] me-eat-drums.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
Aww poor dab! Oh well - I hope your re-write goes well! Blinking computers...

...although, I must say, this is why I love my macbook *hugs* - I've had my current one for 3 years and it has NEVER crashed. Not once. ; )

I swear, computers know exactly when to crash to cause maximum havoc for their users. THEY KNOW!!!

As for your useless, but rather evil boyfriend...*winces*...he, uh, deserved a good kicking, really. That doesn't stop me from crossing my legs in sympathy for the poor bugger.

[identity profile] a-silver-story.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ughhhh don't sympathise with him! He'll think you fancy him and then try and get off with you!


Honestly! You'd think he was starved of affection! *considers fact he got whacked in the balls by aparently doting girlfriend*


ermm .... you can have him on saturdays, but only if I can watch. *nods*

*considers fact he got whacked in the balls by aparently doting girlfriend*

Being fair, he did hit you first. With a book. If it was a hard-back, I'd probably have done a lot worse than a well-placed kick.

Ughhhh don't sympathise with him! He'll think you fancy him and then try and get off with you!

My sympathy for him ends as being a fellow male who's been there before. He's safe from my roving hands, honest. :)

Aww. If he had your roving hands, he wouldn't be distracting me from writing. Are you sure you can't take him on Saturdays? (I typed that without any double entendre intended, but somehow it managed to slip in there ...)

Maybe I should check with him before I whore him out ... *shrugs* then again ... mebbees not ...

That's rather presumptious of you. Who's to say he wouldn't be taking me on Saturdays? ;)

I'm a happy bottom, but if you'd rather top I ain't fussy.

This is a_silver_story, and that was my SO ^^

Please don't judge me for having a fella named Gareth who wears a suit to work and often in the bedroom. He's also Welsh (but so am I so ... it's not weird ... apart from the suits in the bedroom thing, but he's a Janto fan too.)

Shall I send the suits with him, and should he nip to starbucks on the way?

Guh...

I'm not very judgemental as a rule, although I will admit to a spot of jealousy at this moment. Mmm...men in suits...

*Malcolm is currently unavailable for further comment due to having far too many naughty thoughts about men in suits in the bedroom*

Re: Guh...

Woops!

I need to stop doing this to people! Honestly ... *shakes head in shame*

This is why I keep me and my suits away from the Torchwood fandom!

... unless I'm gunna get lucky ...

*sigh* Le Barrowman ....

You definitely don't have to apologize to us for needing more time making an update. You are really the most consistent updater of any online author that I know.
