Whole story corrupted - please help

Hi folks,

I've found these pages so useful and friendly before - this is my first post but it's a rotten one.

I spent the past 12 hours or so working on a story using Twine 2.0.11 Harlowe (windows 8.1 version, not browser). I accidentally named a link with an extra | ... so for example |dooropened

Suddenly, the whole thing crashed. Upon resetting the editor, my story was missing from the menu. I looked for it in the stories directory, opened it in a text editor and discovered that the names of every single passage, and the contents of the whole file, is just dooropeneddooropeneddooropeneddooropeneddooropened etc. over and over

Please tell me there is some way I can roll back the editor or my system to get some of my story back if possible :(

  • This seems exactly like what happened here
  • If in the past you have used either the Publish to File option to create a Story HTML file or the Archive option to create a backup file, then you can rebuild your Story Project(s) using one of those files by using the Import From File option.

    Unfortunately, I wrote the whole thing in a frenzy over the course of 12 hours or so, I have nothing backed up. Thanks for your help anyway - I'll certainly have to make a habit of doing that in the future.
