Ok I just spent 4 hours wacking away a story for Ms Fzzy's July challenge and when I submitted it--it was lost! Is there someway it can be retrieved--likely NOT,,,but in the future just how long do I have before I log back in

Oh dear Vulcan, sorry to hear that happened to you ... don't know the answer to your question about time limit ... I tend to write my stories on Word and then copy it into the reply post. That way I'm able to use all of the Word functions, like spell check, etc. Looking forward to reading your story!!!!

15 minutes...sorry...it has happened to us all. I always write it in another program and cut and paste.

I was wacking away too, but luckily was able to pick right up where I left off.
