My Most Cursed Story
a day ago
I’ve been writing stories since May of 2014, and I’ve been doing everything by myself. In 2020, I wrote a story called Project Azure, which was the 20th story of The Blacklist: Refueled & Reloaded. At the time, it was the longest story I ever wrote at 40 pages long. Hell, it managed to surpass Total Overdrive in terms of length. Just as I was getting ready to convert it to a PDF file, Google Docs somehow erased most of the document, forcing me to rewrite everything. I spent 6 fucking hours rewriting the whole thing plus an additional 90 minutes proofreading it. To say that it was a shitshow would be an understatement because I was burned out after that. I thought I was gonna have to delay the upload, but I still got it uploaded in time. However, I did save multiple backups of the file just in case Google Docs tried to erase it again. Google Docs did erase the finished story, but it failed to erase the backups. So what I uploaded was actually one of the backup files. It’s been 5 years since I wrote that story, and I still consider it to be the most cursed story I ever wrote. I haven’t been in any situations like that since because it was an absolute shitshow, and I never want to go through that again.
