I saved the file, closed the laptop and it decided to randomly power off completely for some reason. When I came back to the file just now, there was an option to register, then it had something about choosing a language. I clicked ok, opened it up...nothing but hashtags everywhere.
I still have the backup copy, but there are several paragraphs and a couple hours work still missing. I'm really hoping I don't have to try and redo the gorgeous work I did while totally sleep-deprived, because it's definitely not going to be as good.
