One of my favorite stories that I've written up, was done in high school. I got a good 30 or so pages into it before I realized that I was, unintentionally, writting the Wheel of Time series, which I had just finished reading (well finished reading all the books that were out at the time). I was so mad! I couldn't figure out where I had made the transition from my story to Jordan's story and so had to trash the whole thing.

Had 11 full chapters of a book I've been working on for the past 6 months.....of course, I have it saved on my laptop.....(with no backup). My hard drive randomly fails, causing me to lose everything. After days of maintenance and praying, my hard drive last long enough for me to get the novel off, then minutes later, dies out completely.

If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D
