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'm reading a light novel called 'Breaking up with the heroine in an otome game', and the female leads are constantly remarking about how the MC doesn't have a good face, isn't attractive etc. But he still gets them in the end.
Man, this trope really annoys me. It's one of those things that...
I'm currently replaying some CRPGs including pillars of eternity and pathfinder kingmaker, and the evil roleplay is... bad. However, I've come to realize that's the case for most RPGs, which can't seem to give the player anything other than chaotic stupid as a choice. Like, why is 'evil' always...
So this is a rather serious post, the long and short of it is recently these two theories have been taking a lot of flak, and I find myself on the side of the critics. I'll link some videos you guys can watch if you're interested, but one of the big issues is what I'd like to call 'science' vs...
I'm rereading the books while working on mine and I gotta say... man, some parts are rough. Forgivable, given Paolini was only 17 at the time, but it bugs me to see people defending stuff that's just not good. Off the top of my head, the whole story taking place in less than two years is a huge...
I might regret posting this, but I wanted to put my thoughts into words and maybe bounce ideas off people, so here we go.
(BTW, idk if this is against the rules. Though, if I were in charge of QQ, I'd probably be hesitant about allowing religious arguments, so...)
Some background about me, I...
Recently, I've been scanning novelupdates and webnovel for stuff to read. It's been a while since I checked them, so I was hoping to see some new stories.
While I found what I was looking for, I also didn't. Those who frequent those sites will know what I mean. Basically, when reading these...
Right now, I see a lot of people panicking about this new software. Artists worrying about being replaced, writers worrying about being replaced etc.
So me being me, I thought—'hey, why dont I try to give myself a leg-up by trying out this thing? If it can make writing easier for me, then...
Steam, battlenet, GOG galaxy, Epic games - I hate them all equally. I just want to play my stuff without having 10 bajillion launchers running in the background. I feel like I'm being pushed into pirating, because that's the only way I can play my games normally.
So, I've been writing my Beserk fanfic and getting Griffith's character down has proven to be very hard.
His particular combination of sociopathy and childlike innocence is not something that is easily put into words. I felt like I sort of got it down, but the thing is... he still comes across...
So I have a few stories I've been cooking up and I find that this is something which trips me up every time.
I want to be able to do some good worldbuilding and character-digging, so I end up swapping between a bunch of different viewpoints to show how different people see the world and what...
1.) Dragon balls are way too OP. I have to ass-pull reasons for why my character can't abuse them.
2.) Characters in dragon ball are NPCs, outside of the main cast. The main cast have worthy, clear cut goals: saving the earth/universe/multiverse. Other important characters exist only for the...
