All the Difference

by Hunter the Pyro

The seven Survivors, along with their three Infected tagalongs, find themselves at Fort Alpha, a massive military complex set up as a small city. Seven months after rescue, Katelyn, with a coma and a genetic mutation unlike what anybody's seen, may just be the ticking time bomb to end everything. Includes crap cameos! Action! Shotgun brides! Drama! Francis! Over-emphasis!

3. Update - Bad News

Unfortunate news.

I've been working extra hard to write chapters. I had 6 chapters for All the Difference written up and ready to upload, and I had the next chapter and three branching chapters done for Fortressbound. I had all of these chapters saved to my Notes on my iPhone. It makes it easier to write stories whenever I have time to, and they're easy to upload. However, my iPhone had completely crashed recently, and I had to restore it to factory default. With no backup and absolutely no idea of why it crashed in the first place, I pretty much lost all of my stories. Completely.

Am I upset? Yes, but I'm certainly not going to just give up. After all, these are my stories, I made the plot, damnit.

But it will take some time to... collect, after this. It's definitely going to take some time to go back through the stories and rewrite them. In my head, it's playing out more complex than the Legend of Zelda timeline. I'll probably just reread the stories to remember exactly where they leave off. It'll be a good thing, considering it gives me a chance to check for grammatical errors, any confusing portions, or general areas that can be better written.

It's just been pretty tough for me. I'm spending more time working on animation and 3D modeling, and as the projects I make build up, so do the issues and frustrations. I spent the past 43 hours waiting for a large project I've been working on to finish rendering in 3DS Max, when the program suddenly crashes at the last frame, corrupting the entire video and leaving it unplayable. So now, I have to go through it and figure out why it happened, then re-do it all over again... I also have been working on an SFM project that has been continually crashing on me due to a significant lack of stability on SFM's part. School projects on Microsoft Word keep corrupting or just disappearing on me, Garry's Mod's been bugging out continuously, I've been anxious about whether not my job application will be accepted, I'm nervous about driving, and my Project M was corrupted after my brother put a different game in the Wii that overwrote almost everything on the SD card. To some that might mean nothing, but Project M/Smash Bros is a very important thing for me. I had replays, a completed challenge panel, and Classic completed on hard with almost every character. And all of it is wiped out now.

Again, I'm not just going to give up and leave these stories to rot, but I need to get myself together and find time to write again. I'm juggling too much right now to focus on one thing, and writing stories is definitely not on the top of the list. But eventually, I'll update everything, back up all of my chapters, and get back to writing. I've grown to enjoy writing too much to just give it up now.

Sorry for me taking so long to update anything.
