Regarding the Flash (drive) Crash, I periodically e-mail copies of my in-progress story files from one of my accounts to another, so I have offsite backups.

In addition to the happenings that others have told you about, there are two stories that you have to read. (That's not a suggestion. You have to read them.) These are: Both are accessible from the "Current Favorites" submenu in the dropdown Library menu.
 * Lilac's story, Total Drama Island: For Your Entertainment. Lilac started posting this three days after you left.
 * Rhonda's story, Total Drama What The Heck?. Rhonda started posting this four days after you left.

Rhonda struggles with her mechanics (Wifey and I have been helping her clean up the syntax), but TDWTH? is a delightful story, lighthearted and cartoonish. Rhonda's breakout character is Julie, an Izzy type who is also Rhonda's go-to character for Fourth Wall humor. TDWTH? is full of allusions to other stories on the wiki.

As for Lilac's story, I'd have to say (at the risk of blowing my own horn too loudly) that it would probably be between TDI:FYE and LTDI for the title of "Best In-progress Story", with the FYE camp citing the facts that it has an OC slate of contestants and is further along than LTDI. (This would have been a 3-way battle, but the third contender--Ult's story, Total Drama the New Challenge--is now officially dead after going a year without an update. It was my sad duty to finally delete TDNC earlier this evening.) In three more chapters, give or take, TDI:FYE will surpass TDI-G&S to become the wiki's longest page by word count, although TDI-G&S will remain the largest page by byte count for a while because it's full of hyperlinks.
