That sucks.

Have you considered writing on GoogleDocs? It saves what you are writing literally every second, so even if your computer explodes what you wrote will be just fine.
You know what you should do? Use notepad++. It's like wordpad, but better, yet still free. You can set it to backup every x seconds (default is seven), it will back up to a folder which you can set, and combine it with Google Drive Sync app, then pretty much the only way you could lose data is if you erase them yourself.
 
In the process of re-writing the update, I've wound up expanding upon it and, hopefully, improving it over the original version. So that much can be taken as a positive, I guess.

....but now I have the urge to cross MGLN with The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, just so I can have the subject of my new avatar hang out with characters that aren't going to act like they think he's a complete and total idiot.

....Gundam JESUS on a CRACKER, today's been a friggin' rollercoaster.
 
Update 53 - Kurumu exposits about the plan to confront Gin
[X]...yare yare daze.

"It's a real pain in the ass," you begin, "and quite frankly you three should be able to handle this by yourselves."

Kurumu looks shocked and betrayed, having apparently just jumped to the conclusion that you're about to tell her to screw herself.

You take out a cig, light it, and enjoy the nicotine rush for a moment.

"...but if that guy's making a nuisance of himself to my juniors, I guess I can't ignore it."

You can visibly see your words dawning on Kurumu, and she beams at you. Speaking objectively, that smile is a beautiful, beautiful thing. "I just knew we could count on you, senpai - you're the best!"

You suddenly find yourself being hugged very, very tightly. Just before you can summon the breath needed to actually tell her to screw herself, however, she backs off and is halfway to the door. ...damn that woman, you're not done with her yet!

"That said," you continue, "if he's really on the same kind of level as Moka, then only a total dumbass would try and take him on unprepared."

Kurumu nods at you, pleased with the amount of thought you're putting into this. "Yeah!, yeah!, we've already thought about that!"

Raising her index finger, as if to assume some kind of 'lecturing/explaining pose', she continues, "Werewolves are only at their strongest during a full moon, and we're almost halfway through the lunar cycle - so while it could still be dangerous to confront him tonight, I think we'll be able to get through it."

There's a bad taste in your mouth, and it ain't the cancer stick. Exhaling a cloud of smoke, you ask, "So your plan is to attack him when he's at his weakest?"

Kurumu looks positively scandalized. "What? No! We want to make him stop being a perverted sleaze, yeah, but we aren't planning on picking a fight with Morioka-senpai unless he makes us."

...Huh. You didn't expect that response. You get the sense that Aono's been rubbing off on her.

Kurumu then shifts her weight to one leg and leans forward, winking at you. You're pretty sure it's not meant to be flirtatious, though. "But just in case he does force the issue, we're planning to hit the library later to see if there's any other info we can dig up."

At this point, Mizore sees fit to remind you of her presence. "Sounds like you've got this all figured out, huh."

Kurumu taps a bicep in pride. "Of course - when it comes to journalistic investigations, you should know better than to underestimate members of the Newspaper Club!"

With hopeful eyes and a great big smile, Kurumu asks, "Soooo~, wanna come with?"

[]Go to the school library with Kurumu. You'll probably meet up with Moka and Aono on the way there.
[]Don't go to the school library with Kurumu. You'll still head out, but you feel like killing a little time, first.

You sigh. It's really bizarre, that you've let yourself get caught up in a petty little thing like this... but you also have to admit - it feels kind of good, to have your friends able to rely on you like this. ...Even if following up on those expectations can be a real pain in the ass.

Who is your new avatar by the way?

May as well check on Squishy McBloodbag.

You know, I was just thinking earlier about which Winnie the Pooh characters I'd least want to fuck with.

. . . legitimately curious to see just how you'd pull that crossover off, and what direction you'd take it.

. . . I will admit, the mental image of Eeyore in lipstick was not exactly one I expected to have today, nor do I think I should have expected such.

Thoma Avenir, from Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force. The very... fourth (fifth if you count Zafira)... main character who isn't both a girl and a closet lesbian, and the first such "main character".

His main shticks are being a nice guy to damn near everybody including Joker-league supervillains, being (interestingly so, IMO) a bit different from previous main characters, and being violently hated by seemingly 95% of the franchise's overall fandom for those same reasons.

Prolly take a page out of Kingdom Hearts - the Book of Pooh is a bizarre Lost Logia, created as a possible treatment option for soldiers/disaster survivors/etc. suffering from PTSD, by providing a fun and totally safe atmosphere in which to have zany adventures that only really make sense to little kids.

I'm disappointed to find there isn't a canon Gundam that resembles Jesus.

Gopher. In New Adventures, he has access to Uranium-235.

That phrase of mine refers more to Gundam pilots than to actual Gundams.

With some luck, we can also check out other monsters.
Why, kitsune are vulpine as well, right?
Clearly this means we should just happen to read up on that as well!
Yep.
 
Tigger.

Cause he's the only one.

He's unique, no way to prepare for him, no way to know what to expect. He is the great unknown.
Every individual is a unique person. Are we all the great unknown?

Gin's not vulpine, he's lupine. Wolves and foxes are both family Canidae, though.

Actually, (In my case at least) i don't dislike Thoma. It's the overarching story of FORCE that i dislike, it's like the author doesn't know what to stick. Not to mention the new villains introduction, power set and all that was poorly handled. I daresay it sound like bad fanfiction, the ability to no sell literally magic which force the main cast to use hybrid weapons but then turns out to be completely ineffective.

Aren't we?

One of my running jokes here, for when a player seems to read my mind.

but then turns out to be completely ineffective.
<looks at Nanoha excellently hold her own against Thoma while he's been mind-whammied by what amounts to the ZERO System, before Fate puts the kibosh on said mind-whammy-ing with no trouble at all>

<looks at Signum basically dominate Cypha in the rematch with her AEC gear, forcing her to run away like a little psycho-bitch>

<looks at Teana snipe a getaway truck moving at high speed, effortlessly capturing not one but TWO Eclipse infectees, who both happen to be scared shitless of both Hayate and Nanoha>

...it's times like this, when I can only conclude that I somehow managed to read a completely different manga from everyone else.
