beccaelizabethI found some fic I wrote on the Wayback machine :-)
... I couldn't find it anywhere else. Logic says it should be in a file *somewhere* on my computer, because logic says I wrote it on my computer and never delete anything. But apparently no. I have poked and prodded and searched and no, my highlander fic is only mostly here.
There were stories I wrote straight into email to a mailing list that appears to no longer exist to be archived on a page that no longer works.
!
But Wayback found them for me.
... and then I get to look at what I was writing ten years ago.
*squirmy*
... everybody gets all embarrassed at their old stuff, right?
... oh dear.
so now I've found it I have a dilemma: do I want to post it somewhere more findable and admit it's mine and everything?
Or shall I just hide until I stop feeling the horrible dread that maybe I never got any better?

I know that I hate losing anything I created like a dragon hates losing her hoard, so I do obsessive backups -- though not online...

But you know, it could have sucked more. I'll live.
