Well, finally got a short chapter up. It is a bear learning a new version of Word. Couldn't find Save As. Couldn't find Find and replace for a long time. Good think it was free ... you get what you pay for. (And it is not pirated ... I got it free through my college.)
One of the files that I lost was my list of character names, so that means I have to go back through 46 chapters and recreate it. And also to save the files to my disk, since the BCTS versions are the only ones I have. That means the next chapter will be at least a week away. Sorry for the delay. Blame Apple.

That hurts
Hurts to lose all that work and now all the work to recreate the list. Just know we all thank you for all your hard work. Love your stories

Sorry to hear that you lost your work. Best of luck moving along and forward!
A new version of Word
I have copies of Microsoft Works Suite 2001 and 2002, which include Microsoft Word. They don't expire. Which is why I am still using Microsoft Word 2002. It used to be upgraded via Microsoft updates but the last time I did a scratch install on my computer (something I find quite useful to do once or twice a decade) Microsoft Word 2002 was no longer supported and there were no updates so I no longer have support for the .docx file format. (Or for a lot of other stuff I never used, like voice recognition.)
I hope you manage to reconstruct your files without too much trouble. Thank you for your stories.
Rebuild
I worked long hours going through all the chapters to rebuild the character list and get a copy on my machine. I’ve figured out the new Word, and gotten a second chapter up this week. But I still need to do the same with all my other stories.
Plus I lost two other stories that were to follow Stone.
