loaded_marchIt's February 3, and I have written the first 2,500 words of LM#15.
That is all.
No, that is not all, actually. It's come to my attention that one of the files I lost during the Crash of 2015 was Loaded March Characters.doc, which just so happens to be the list of names, descriptions, occupations of nearly everyone in the series (I kind of stopped updating it around 8 or 9). Another file that disappeared -- actually, nearly the entire contents of my Worldbuilding folder -- was This is what the fuck that was.doc, with plot details and crucial information to make sure that I didn't mess up.
(Which I'm sure I did. Multiple times.)
If I look at what I have now and consider how many of those words words have four X's in them (i.e., thingthatgoesboomXXXX -- my catch-all CTRL+F to find the details I don't fill in until later, so that I don't have to stop to look it up), I'm afraid I'm going to have to call upon the Hive Mind (or just anyone who has a really good recollection of LM) to answer some questions about LM.
Man, it's embarrassing to ask, but I'm acutely aware that the fans of the series have way more knowledge about the story than I do (and I'm totally cool with that. One day I will rectify that problem by rereading everything and recompiling the files) and it's just easier and faster if, I just ask.
So this is me, with a global help me do my homework request, and hoping that no one minds.

I think it's a freeware. I used it and I recovered many things and also half of a word document I was working on! Imagine that! I almost jumped to the sky, I even hugged my dog while spinning XD yes, poor dog.
Well, hope it helps you as much as it can. First see if it has 2 versions: one for microsoft and one from mac, since I don't now what laptop or desktop you're using. Yes, kind of a nerd, that I am buuuut that knowledge saved my life so many times XD
Cheers
