The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.
Yeah, but everyone from QQ's already going to be turned off by the lack of porn, and then combine that with moving to an entirely different website and you're probably not going to keep that many people from here. Have you published any stuff on SV before this? You or Jackal? Something so that people know who you are or are you starting over from scratch?
And oh shit, do not advertise your stuff on QQ over there. I'm serious. In fact I would use totally different usernames and try to differentiate yourself from both accounts. I'm not saying all SV users, but there are some of them who will look up your old stuff and see some of the under age romances and misogyny and start some shit.
You remember some of that discord drama you had, where one of your friends on there found your work and had a total meltdown over that. Shit like that could happen if you're not careful.
Just be careful is what I'm saying. Again it's not every SV member, it's just that there are some people on that site who are very frank about having some personal history or traumas in real life and it makes certain kind of stories triggers for them.
Don't hold back. Write the story you want and have fun doing it, that's why people write. It's certainly not for the pay, since outside the mega stars most author's today either have side Hustle, a husband/wife to fill in, or a patron to keep afloat.
Goddamn this coughing sucks. Starting to get a headache from how often I'm coughing. But Doom demons are less sentient beings, with the exception of the strongest and top tier overlords ruling above, and more insects in that they eat, build a nest, defend it, then expand once the nest is properly settled. Is that how your demons will work?
