We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here 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.
Fair enough, the character is an added one, I try to avoid blatant self-inserts but have written a lot of OCs for stories, so putting in the SI-OC tag now seemed fair option as such. I mostly focused on the setting itself and the presence of the Chaos Gacha, and both being somewhat different...
Had something similar happen earlier on yesterday, I think there's an issue with some testing back then.
"Odd Thing Happened" was what it was named here when that happened.
Maybe more testing?
Was writing a reply to a post, and the site noted there had been additional replies, I tapped to open it and it said 'oops' and I couldn't do anything. Tried posting my reply, it repeated the same 'oops' warning. Tried refreshing it, and it declared some database error.
Decided to take a short...
Trying to find out who it was or where they had gone wasn't easy. Asking around thankfully gave him a lead about a scoundrel that had loitered around nearby. They had recently set off towards neighboring village in a hurry, late at night. The night the sheep went missing. So he had at least a...
I think the character is Bun-Bun, from Sluggy Freelance, a rather clever rabbit with an attitude, and while its not exactly catch-phrase, a lot of arguments end with 'ka-click' of that switchblade, and someone else calling for mommy.
I recall he loved Alfalfa margaritas, enjoying his comforts...
So, I failed to find anything amusing about Tanukis that I could share freely as a Tribute to Bii, but I did find some amusing Raccoon antics, so hopefully the Chief Tanuki won't have my trashcans raided and contents spread out shamefully for the world to see, and is instead appeased by a small...
So, how long till there's a new Tanuki-Theme'd skin for the Page?
Oh. I just recalled some of the things Tanuki are famous for.
I hope they would rather go with sexy trickster spirit with a gourd of wine, rather than a pair of fat nuts.
Either way, should be interesting.
What a surprising...
If there's tension in the air, such as opening the door to the principal's office after being caught doing something, a possibility of serious consequences hanging in the air, the tension might be ramped up a bit, noticing all manner of things while mind is kind of panicking, looking for some...
Amusing as the idea is, especially with the topic of this thread, I think I'll pass for now.
I'd sooner deal with the mistakes popping up now and then and having the auto-correct being troublesome till its switched back off again, than play around too much with AI.
I'll admit it is fun...
I usually do, but I don't have a beta-reader so I try and use the proofreading option to at least look through for obvious typos, take a break, and return to read the story properly after a brief break, to catch any obvious typos before I post.
It doesn't always work, something slips past my...
I think I've written stuff with such mistakes here and there that an AI would tear its hair out trying to correct me if given the chance, the same way auto-corrupt makes me roll my eyes and fix something back to the way it was.
"No, I did not mean to write that, I meant what it was the first...
Yeah, no.
I think there is enough options off-site for those who want to set up an account to release some of their content early for a paying audience to do so if they wish, and ko-fi for general little tipping needs. Those can handle a fair bit of things without dragging the whole site into...
I think the necromancy warning is there to discourage resurrecting a thread others might flock to check to see if there's been an update and get annoyed to find someone else posting a question instead or such. If an author resurrects their own story and continues it along, then its probably...
I certainly agree on enjoying binge-reading some stories by my favorite authors here, and I have been working on various small snippets of ideas to keep my own muse going. Not much longer-lasting tales on my part, but been having fun, and glad to see a familiar name return to the boards.
I can definitely see the reasoning behind using what is more comfortable in a familiar setting, I've found both systems to have their advantages and disadvantages, I personally prefer Metric as it is what I am used to, but I have seen the sense in using another system, like the Imperial system...
Hum, hard to say, I could see a number of fun games that I'd want to play, and picking any 1 to play above others is sometimes difficult. Picking up just 5 to play for the rest of time?
Ugh, well...
1) Satisfactory - The factory must grow... but I also love the fact resource-nodes are...
So, I have used both of these systems, I live in Finland so the Metric System is what I am more familiar with, and my go-to system in most matters, but I like writing stories on the internet, and in many cases those stories deal with either American setting, or a world set in earlier ages where...
After a rather tiresome day at work, coming home to find this story updated was a mood-booster I certainly welcomed. Thank you for the chapter, it is always fun to find more Snek shenanigans waiting around to be read about.
I figure Fletchette would never let March live that one down, but...
I like the fun interaction. Snek is definitely a Star quality individual, but the dragons are a fun group to hang around, and I think the shenanigans linked to them are amusing to witness. I think this story has grown from humble beginnings to something that will be remembered quite fondly for a...
