Emergency notice: We are currently being invaded by zombies. See this thread for details.
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.
I wish the forum has a Discord or Twitter or some other kind of off-site platform. That way we're not wondering if it's the QQ Apocalypse everytime there's a 502.
I think I may be on the other end of this problem, though I can't prove it because I only have my own account to go on. But I noticed under my profile, under "postings," my last post is May 5th, even though I just posted a threadmarked update on my story earlier today. Moreover, my post today...
I'm glad you like the story. And I love Isaac Arthur's channel! The Venusian sunshade mentioned in my story I actually got the idea from his "Winter on Venus" video.

Roberta jabs a finger at the pale arc. "No. Uh-uh. That has got to be a contrail. Or a skinny rainbow. We're at your uncle's house, your SUV's right there, and that dirt road leads to Texas 148. We're on Earth. Not Halo."
"Why not...

Pocketing the Black Stilettos, you keep your shotgun on the bedroom door. "We have to retreat."
"Why?" Helen demands from the opposite sofa. "We have them pinned down! Maribel's sicced tornadoes on them. And did you hear them...
Well, actually the vote is already done. This QQ thread is basically an archive. The quest is active mainly on it's thread on SV.

"Eddie. Heartstone," you say.
Wordlessly, he hands you the red sphere, which dims in your palm. You pass it to Maribel, whose fingers envelop its glassy surface. At her touch, the stone shifts to cyan and brightens, bathing you...

"We can worry about fairies later," you say. "Right now, we need to act. Defending the stairs is a good idea, but I don't want to get cut off from the basement. So, let's build a barricade around the basement door. We use those...
Thanks for the votes. Thirteen I think is a record.

Meanwhile, Eddie and Maribel gather up the supplies from the study.
Everyone get...
