Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
In a far away land, in a long ago time, in a place hidden by vale and vista, tomb and ruin, wind and rain, and yet more still...
There is a paradise beyond it all; a magnetism of such attraction, that those who beheld it could only summon the will to call it -- the Creation Club.
I suppose I should ask, and this seems like a good place.
If I want to write a lambasting fiction with Emil Pagliarulo and Vin Diesel into Elden Ring, does that cross any legal lines on QQ?
No smut. Just gratuitous violence. Actually, there will be off-screen smut, but such will all be...
~Near closing time~
~Chani, bent over her pocket book~
~Leto, tapping fingers to a song only he can hear~
~Paul, still winding down his frayed nerves~
Paul traced the rim of his mug with his index finger, suspecting fully the porcelain was paper just that day ago. Leto was probably...
~Who do we have?~
~Feyd-Rautha?~
~Hedley Tuek?~
~Chani?~
A single clap. One moment, Paul had been staring at the gargantuan form of some Hedley Tuek, another unannounced patron to Air A Kiss Coffee. The next? Paul stared down at a porcelain mug warming his palms... Wafts of...
~Lap wet~
~Coffee stains spreading~
~Hot as shit~
~Paul, also hot as shit~
It was painful silence which dominated the parlor of Air A Kiss Coffee. Only the heated warmth in his lap reminded Paul that else existed, because all he saw at the moment, were the magnetic eyes of his...
~Work distracts~
~Time flies~
~Peace flits~
~Paul~
Everything went back to normal come new dawn. As nice as the reprieve was, Paul still had his obligations; checkboxes, notes, itineraries, tasks. Free time? Perish the thought. He left to the same bus route, to the same office...
~Cold rain~
~Wet clothes~
~Long day~
~Paul~
He had to choose between lunch and a newspaper. Crazy just how expensive some splattered ink and mulch cost these days... but, so be it. Price wasn't really the issue to Paul; it was the fact said newspaper was currently tented over his...
what do you think about stories that subvert your underlying premise, like waifu catalogue?
i do want to make sure i'm not strawmanning you, so; your point is about the agency of characters within the frame of the story (right?) i've never read a waifu catalogue story, but i gather that the...
hm. i forget what the term is in psych, but one of the implied problems is that simply reading a series of words . . . oh, priming!
the problem i see, is that the more ai stories are written, the more are read, and the more inclined people are towards priming in the same way ai is writing. a...
i used to love topics like that.
here's a mind game i thought about as a youngling.
online games are basically just interactive code and all, right? when we start thinking about data loss -- or lag -- it's fun to consider how parallel universes work then. say, when a lag spike hits the...
it's taking me immense f*cking willpower not to link the general sam video this reminds me of. oh my god...
'this is my dojo! i will keep my keep my dojo clean!'
a far more sfw friendly video, though...
edit: yeah, probably won't pass rule 8... goddammit.
