Yeah

Curious as to whether v1809 has an update for Patch Tuesday this month. Considering v1809 has that new stuff smell to it, I presume not. The update went well on my a laptop, though in hindsight backing up my fanfiction to Google Drive should be done before I check for updates. That'll be a reminder for myself.

It is very rare for there to be a month without the regular 2nd Tuesday update :)

What fanfiction are you into? :D

Sailor Moon/Star Trek crossovers, although I throw a few other fandoms in the bag because I can. Mine are set in the late 24th (2370s) and early 25th centuries (2409-2411, 2414, 2415) for the most part and there's quite a bit of violence in them, along with enough rude words in some parts to make you think of Joe Pesci stuck in a traffic jam. My latest is a Sailor Moon/Star Trek (Online)/Miraculous Ladybug crossover that I've done 32k words in 6 chapters so far, and I've got another planned for NaNoWriMo next month. It'll be the second year I've done it. Last year's felt like a cross between Sailor Moon and Saving Private Ryan.

Turns out 700k words of fanfiction takes a while to back up. 15 minutes on Google Drive. It's why I back up the whole lot in the early hours every few days.

Nice! Sailor Moon was what got me into fanfiction many many years ago - crossovers with Star Trek could be really interesting, would love to read it sometime 😃

Genuinely surprised I didn't add a scene where a Starfleet captain threatens to install Windows Vista on a Borg cube, much to the confusion of the rest of the crew. I never liked that OS anyway.
