So life has gone on and I've basically recovered everything I can now... which is a single out-of-date file from my memory stick. Luckily, it is of use even in its out-of-date state because it's the ONLY remnant of any of my (written) planning for Horns and Wings.
Guh, I've been rebuilding my family tree for that today. I really wish I'd gotten around to making a picture version of that and putting it up. There was so much information in that one spreadsheet... and now I have to struggle and work it out. Luckily those profiles (remember those? the ones of Preeni the pegasid, Kram the unicorn and Cowhart the unipeg?) had all the possible colours on them, so I didn't have to run around digging up pictures too much and guessing what I couldn't find.
Oh yes, and Horns and Wings just happened to be what I was working on prior to the crash. Three members of Velvet's family had had their names changed, and I had gone through everything to be sure their old names were not hiding anywhere... now I've had to revert because I can't remember the new names. And the pegasids too... I had changed to calling them "Pterrippi", which is technically the correct term for them... only I can't remember right now if it's spelled "pterrippi" or "pterippi"...

Another thing slowly coming along is a fanfiction I'd been writing for many months. I'd only recently got up the courage to start posting it on Fanfiction.net when I lost it all in the crash, so I've been madly trying to rewrite it.
If you're interested, it's a Homestar Runner fanfic, basically a runthrough of the SBCG4AP finale from an alternate universe where they're humans; I thought a situation like that would make the takeover of their world more interesting. Unfortunately, I only got five chapters up before the crash, so the sixth was written in about a day to apologise in advance for how long it would take to rewrite. I'd almost finished it too... *sniff*

Oh yes, the REAL reason I wanted to update!
I haven't yet regained Gimp, but I plan to soon. All my programs are on a list of importance, but I'm limiting myself to one a day until our download limit gets too high, then I have to stop and wait for it to reset. So I'm doing that right now. Next month, I might have a new picture to put up to show everyone. Or maybe a recoloured comic. We'll just have to see, I guess. :)

Stuff Status:
SA 22, 23: Recovered the scans. They just need cleaning up before colouring.
SA Chap2 Cover: Going through ideas. Haven't got a solid plan yet.
SA Novel: Will work on chapter 3 as I recover the comic.
HaW 12 to 21: Recovered the scans. Number 14 is gonna be SO much harder to redo...
HaW 22 to 29: Recovered the planning up to 29, of which I have one line. 29 and 30 will have to be rewritten.
HaW Character Page: Got pictures for most of them. I also recovered the planning, which is good.
RS4 10 to 13: Complete. Will be uploaded when I remember.
Horse Sled: Planning, just deciding which characters to use.
Scumm Actor's Guild: Drawing it. Gotta remember to continue on that...
Sam VS Guybrush: Waiting to be coloured. Still.

It's really evil when computer do that kind of stuff. Although not as bad as this, that kind of thing happened once for me too. One day I realised that all of my music files had been swept away thanks to my genius former computer, luckily I was able to retrieve them with a program which name I don't remember anymore. But in your case I don't think that would have helped if your entire computer got mess like that. Only disadvantage was that all name's was overwritten with something weird names, so I had to look for all the real names for all tracks again.

It might be better store important files for removable hard drive, that way you will be able to keep them safe even if computer goes crazy. Too bad you lost your files because of Norton's incompatibility. :( Did you managed to recover any files after that from your computer?
(I sort of made comment for two of your journals, if you don't mind oo')
