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.
Chey-Linn's been put in a real tough situation throughout this fic. It would've been easy to tell the events as a story from her perspective; cheated out of a win at the tournament by a kid--an older kid, given that he's so obviously a bad egg that no master wants to take him, who beat her in a...
Chapter 69: Niceties
After a long day, the court adjourned. The case hadn't even really started yet, but six hours of clerical work had made it ready to start tomorrow. The Justices shuffled into their own private turbolift, and the media quickly scampered outside, seeing as they weren't...
Threadmarks: Chapter 68: The Courts Take Even Longer
Chapter 68: The Courts Take Even Longer
As they descended upon the so-called "plains of Coruscant", where thousands of skyscrapers were leveled out by regulation at the same height, Tetha pressed her hands to the glass and looked out with mouth wide open. In the distance was the Jedi Temple and...
Chapter 67: The Happiest Moment
There was no time to organize a 'proper' ceremony. More importantly, there was no time to educate Nerim on what exactly a 'proper' ceremony was supposed to be. He mainly picked up what he could through overhearing arguments between Aesha and Tetha, where they...
One of the things I think a lot of people overlook even in the movies themselves are the lines "hokey religions," "demanded by the gods, it is," and "your gods demand it".
Like, it's obviously not an obscure subject for the actual people in-universe that religions exist, including ones with...
I view it sort of like how plenty of European monarchies still have state religions (even religions particular to their state, with their head of state being their head of religion), but have so many protections for minority rights that in practice they are fairly similar to secular democracies...
afaik in the EU it's always been something of a legal fiction maintained both in- and out-of-universe that the Republic has three branches of government, and the Jedi Order have maintained this quasi-governmental special status. After the Ruusan Reformations, the Jedi Order was subjected to a...
Chapter 66: The Time Has Come
The days came and went peacefully, for once. What strife there was with the refugee situation was largely contained and made up for within the same few weeks. Eventually Arwain was up and walking again, and Jianno split her time between managing the clan and...
Arwain would and has argued with Nerim for hours on what his Sith Blif name would be. Darth Nerim simply would not do. Her most recent suggestion is Darth Frustratus but she changes her mind often.
For the record he thinks Darth Exodus would be cool. Arwain's unsure if that one's taken, though...
Chapter 65: It Was Her Idea
Nerim raised his head, looking nowhere in particular as the sounds washed over him. He wasn't sure what instruments were playing. A piano, soft and pleasant drums, deep lulling strings, and something brassy.
"What is this?" He asked.
"It's cinnamon," Aesha...
I was never super clear with the passage of time, the year this story began taking place in, or the ages of any of the characters. I believe I mention at the very beginning of the story that Nerim is somewhere in his 15th year, and then a bit more than a year passes between then and him getting...
