I'm a fan of Fan Fiction. At least within a Tolkien universe (big surprise there - LOL). And I have several authors that I've been reading extensively. So I had a new chapter alert for one of my favorite authors this morning, pulled it up on screen and read/saved it. I try to save the chapters for my fave authors because I'm one of these people who likes to re-read things time and time again. Then I wanted to enlarge the typeface for a section of text in the piece, so I tried to pull up the doc. Blank. Tried again. Blank. AARRGGHHHH!!! I decided to pull up some other chapters. No problem with some, big problem with others. Whatz up??? So I went into a file listing mode. Turns out that every doc I have stored with bits in the 20's stored an empty page. Most pages should be between 40 and 60. I now have the "joy" of going through each author and each document, chapter by chapter (some of these books have more than 150 chapters) and make sure that each one has transferred properly. 
On a brighter note (although the above wasn't a dark note, just more work added to my plate), I received two wonderful last-days Holiday gifts yesterday. My BFF Sharon sent a wonderfully funny "Trouble with Tribbles" holiday ornament. It's really hilarious. The battery driven ornament dumps a load of Tribbles onto Captain Kirk's head. I'll have to show it to VerLaine before I store it in my special holiday ornaments closet. And I received three wonderful books from my darling Sister in Austin, Texas. A blank journal/sketchbook, a humerous book called "I Can't Be Good All The Time" and a wonderful book by John Howe on sketching and painting Dragons. I have his earlier book on fantasy art and found it incredibly helpful to my own art. I know I'll learn a lot from this one. Yippee!!!
