Y'know, the comments for the last ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pornish_pixies story--the Harry/Draco one--made me giggle over the incoherent brevity of many. As in, "Um, I'm going to be a bit BUSY for a while here and don't want to ruin the mood, so, let me just say THIS in thanks." I don't think I read too much into those things, do I?
Anyway, I'm starting on an up note so that I can slip a whinge in here--My computer's hard drive is on its last gasp, it seems. Each startup may be its last, and each successful start up in the past 2 weeks has only occurred because of a successful Archive & Install. (Twice. Two startups, two A & I's. BAD prognosis.) I was hoping the sucker would not be making these dying noises until after August, and the Pornish Pixies stories were over, but I can't risk it, so, at least some of the time that I was hoping to dedicate just to writing will be spent doing an ocean of backing up, sending in the thing for repair (it's still under warranty), and getting a new laptop up to speed.
However, do not despair, I am presently working on the older computer, am halfway done with story #10 (that was SCARY. The computer decided to go evil on me as I was doing the backup of what I'd written that day--if I hadn't got it to boot I could have lost the 1,000 words I wrote yesterday. But I got it!), and have every intention of acting as though the end of the month is still my goal for the last four stories. It is even more likely that not all will be beta'd and posted, however. But darn, I'd love to see if I can do it. It would be like my own personal NaSmuWriMo.
