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.

I noticed a lack of history thread, and after some discussions wandered into a place where I wanted one, I decided to make it myself. I have no idea if people other then myself will use it, but I figured if I was going to have to make a thread anyway, it may as well be a general for other people...
Personally, I've read 'Don't tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain' but haven't read 'Wizard Squared' or 'Heroics for Beginners'. Are you talking about 'Sir Apropos of Nothing' by Peter David? For personal recommendations other then popular authors people like Jim Butcher, Brandon Sanderson, Joe...
Then I feel compelled to mention the excellent, if heavy on the world-building side, The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. It's both really good and with some 'small' alterations excellent material for QQ.
