My Story's gone! Please help me find it. . . :(
Hey Guys, I started a story on my home computer, then I e-mailed it to myself, downloaded and started working on it. Now. . . I can't figure out where it is. I've tried search for it, but I can't find it. Any ideas?
Any ideas?Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

This happened to me before. I lost all 40 pages of a story I was working on. Checked the recycle bin and all. It's like it was "eaten" or something.
I was going to ask if you have a "recent downloads" or "recent items" section on the Start menu of your computer. Maybe you could check that to see if the file is listed there or type the name of the file in Search.

Yeah, you could try looking in your Recent Documents in the start menu or you can go and check back in your Email 
It should be in your actual inbox and in your Sent box (?) ^_^ How recent was this from You should be able to find it in one of those places that the others have suggested as well ^ ^

Have you tried doing a search and setting the "When was it Modified" tab (XP) to the last time you remember editing your story?
