Whining, links

Attempts to fix computer: still not working. I seem to make headway, but nothing progresses toward any real goal. At this point, I'm fighting with the urge to just reinstall Windows. I know it's stupid and would lose me all of my data (which is, apparently, recoverable, if I could just figure out how), but I want so much to just be able to use my computer again.

Link Recs:
stagesoflove is starting up again. Go claim a pairing. I'm debating it, myself. I'd like to sign up, because I had so much fun with it last year, but I don't know who to write. I feel like I should leave the obvious answer, Tsuzuki/Hisoka, open for someone else to get a chance to play with it.
Also, go participate in a discussion about how to organize yaoichallenge.
Ne Me Quitte Pas by louiselux. Gojyo/Hakkai, R, and oh, this one hurts in the best of ways.
The Dragon's Tale by harukami. Saiyuki, PG, AU. Gorgeous, fairy-tale retelling. With sequel! The Bard's Tale
Coffin Nails by daegaer. Gojyo/Hakkai, Jeep, PG. Funnnnnnnny.
Next to the Moon by louiselux. Koumyou/Ukoku, NC-17. Is everyone aware of how much I absolutely adore Koumyou? Yes? Then why is there not more fic for him!

...it is really disturbing that I don't have a Sanzo rec today. What has happened to my reading habits? Feel free to enlighten me by pointing out new Sanzo fic I missed.

Someone working at a computer store or something would be able to, I think, plug something into your computer that would take out the files and transfer them to, say, another computer. I don't know how else you could get to them though.

I was thinking of setting up my own fic challenge but I doubted anyone would join. >_>

I don't know; it's a pretty complicated problem. I don't think the guys who hang around in stores waiting for you to come in would have a solution, I don't want to spend the time and money to send it in to a more high-tech place.

I'm sure people would if it was interesting enough. I mean, it's not like the only fic challenges that get popular are the ones started by BNFs. animadri is the person in charge of both yaoichallenge and stagesoflove, which are both pretty big now, and I wouldn't call her famous.
