Here's a friendly reminder to make regular backups of your stuff, or risk having your laptop break down and losing it all like me because your last backup is from a year ago!
          	
          	(Thankfully it's all good now and my laptop didn't actually break as bad as it first seemed, so all my stories are safe and up to date. But still, gave me a near heart attack and wasn't fun.)
          	
          	Make backups, people. Regularly.

@Sarphieruby @BasmalaHussein910 thank you for your support!
          	  
          	  @Sunflower_shine_777 yeah, me too :'D
          	  
          	  @ikenized I use word or google docs. It used to be simply word, but since my RSI I've been using google docs so I can easily type on my phone and switch between phone and laptop (I have an easier time typing with my thumbs now).
          	  
          	  @IlnaHers yeah, wasn't fun... it wasn't the end of the world because I still had most of it, but I had two or three stories that I made some major revisions to that I was afraid were lost, most importantly the Warped rewrite.
          	  Oh yeah I can see why that would be problematic as well. Have you tried setting just one day every month, like the last day of each month to make backups? Might be a bit more organized. Otherwise there are also programs that help with backups by only updating the files that have been changed since the last update, that way you just get updates instead of constant copies. Might work for you!

@Yarah001 ouch. I would panic too.
          	  I personally have the opposite problem, when you just save your work on all the stuff I use each time I use it, and when I'm trying to find the latest save of one of my works I'm just floundering around looking for it through all of my stuff, that's super annoying...

hello! dont wanna sound rude or anything but! i dont know if im out of the loop but what happened to your work "Stand"? I remember reading it around 2016 til its completion around 2017 in FFN and you posted it here as well around 2020! Where did it go?
          
          I really liked that story, and would prefer reading it on AO3 or Wattpad because of.. dark mode hehe..

There is a question I wanted to ask. If it's not too much trouble could you tell me, when you start a story do you already have an idea about the ending you want to write for it, or do you think about it later?

@tempest675 I see! Thanks for answering. ｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡

@tempest675 really depends on the story, to be honest, though usually I don't know it in much detail. Just a general feel. And, even if I do have an idea, a lot of the time it ends up scrapped for something else!

Hello, Yarah! I just want to say that your works REALLY inspired me to be a writer, hehe. Ever since I've read Accidental Reverse and your other fics, I began writing. Now, I find myself improving drastically with the way I write thanks to you<3

Yarah001

@CheezeeeeePizza I'm honored to hear that! Best of luck with your writing <3

Yara, regarding Accidental Reverse, I’m so grateful that you wrote so much of the fanfiction that holds the most special place in my heart. Even after 10+ years of reading fanfiction across more than 50 fandoms, I always find myself coming back to reread it from time to time. And the story always gets to me, no matter when I read it — I laugh at the funny moments, I suffer when everyone else is suffering, and I’m endlessly amused by everyone’s shenanigans (specially Tenma´s).
          
          Thank you for lighting the spark that’s continued to brighten my life ever since.

@Akkateru thank you for your kind message! I'm honored to hear my story has had such an impact on you <3
