This was going to be a post about HBP and AQATDR, But LJ ate it

Seriously. WTF? The Whole. Damn. Post. disappeared when I switched from Rich Text to HTML view, and neither Undo nor Paste nor the back-button would retrieve it.

Arrgh.

(Anyone inclined to tell me, in that smug like-you've-never-done-the-same-thing-before tone, "You should have written it in a text editor and then copy & pasted it into LJ," can bite me.)

Okay, the (much) shorter version: I liked the HBP movie, though not all of it, and AQATDR is still coming along slowly but steadily. (And I really wasn't planning to be such a tease about the title, but the guesses are entertaining. And no, none of them are correct. ;) )

Maybe I'll try recreating my post after I am no longer in a mood to shot-put my laptop.

Alexandra Quick and the Dark River. Why not?

As for losing one whole damned article on LJ, join the club. My suspicion is that what happens is that, as I typed, my fingers hit the highlight, home and backspace keys - by mistake and in quick succession. Voila. Whole block of text right from the beginning deleted beyond return, since LJ has no "undo" key. In a more benign, but still infuriating, situation, you might lose a line.
