The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
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.
This can take a surprising amount of emotional resources, and you will almost certainly have bits that *really* don't want to do it, and you may start realizing things that you didn't want to realize, and it is not a fast process but... well, workign through it bit by bit is better than having...
In my experience, the first and simplest way to process is just to lie down, as comfortable as you can get yourself, in the warm, quiet dark (or as close as you can get) and don't do anything, and just... let your brain think what it thinks. Don't worry about directing it, don't try to be...
If you can figure out what some of the bits are there for, sometimes you can figure out ways to twist them back so they work better for the life you actually have.
...in the mind has a reason to be there. Sometime it's broken, or twisted into shapes that are doing more harm than good, or it was evolved for a world much simpler than the one we live in now, but all of the bits are *trying* to help, even if some of them are doing it really, really badly.
Processing that emotional suck lowers the pressure. That reduces the intrusive thoughts... or, alternately, reduces the pressure on those thoughts to the point that they're not nearly as big a deal.
Process the suck.
In my experience, intrusive thoughts are driven by a great big pile of emotional suck sitting in the back of the mind. The mass generates pressure, and the pressure forces it into the foremind as intrusive thoughts.
I just wanted to say, to whoever it was that brought Rule 8 into being... Thank you. I really, really appreciate the way that QQ is a protected space from all of that stuff, and I can just not have to worry about it in any way while I am here.
The "no kinkshaming" rule is also pretty awesome...
...I seem to recall that there was some sort of heroic female future alt-universe Joker at one point...? I think she might have bene an acrobat *and* a super-scientist? I went looking for her, though, and I didn't find anything, so I have no idea how well she'd actually fit, or even if I'm...
I'm hoping to do two things here. The first is that I have a need, and I hope you all can help. The second is that I figure that if *I* want this thing, then maybe at some point, other people will also want this thing, so we might as well make a thread for it.
I'm writing one of those...
When I go to make profile posts, I'm limited to 420 characters.
The counter that's given at the bottom of the box is in words.
Having to figure out if I'm down tot he character limit by hitting post and getting an error back, deleting more, hitting post and getting an error back... it's not...
He is! Also, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21188/forge-of-destiny is what he's doing now. (It's a quest on SV that then gets converted into a story on RR.)
So why post this? You're just adding negativity to the world yourself. It's not constructive criticism because it's not anything like detailed enough. All it is is you complaining without purpose.
Your comment is too negative and pessimistic.
Enjoying the story quite a bit. Still only part way through. Though to offer some corrections along the way. Mostly posting them now because I've been accumulating them, and I wanted to get them all in there before I lost them.
Well, if I'm reading right...
- Building the spore room passed with flying colours.
- Expanding the base went... not well.
- Enhancement probably went pretty poorly too. Not as bad as it could have, but not great.
- Casing the residence went... quite well, really, in spite of having no...
Why yes. Yes you can!
Err... thank you.
And now I nee a new plan. Okay. I can come up with a new plan.
Well... sort of.
