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.
I was aware that he was trying to pass himself off as the author of TGL, but I was unaware that he was posting his own patreon. To be honest, if I had known that, I might have handled the situation a little differently. But, as it is, the situation is done with and I'm washing my hands of it.
Ghastly Adventures will be coming back pretty soon. It was put on pause for a bit because it was meant to be a placeholder story while I got over my writer's block for Gacha God, only I never did, so it kept going. The issue there was that I had no backlog and no outline for the story, but that...
I appreciate it, and I'm doing alright. I'm taking some time off because my dogs died one after another. Both of them were old, and both had longstanding medical issues, so it wasn't unexpected. It still sucks, though. I'll be back soon enough after a break to get my head on straight.
Currently, I am not. I have my hands full with A Fun Time, Not A Long time with my other works. Sorry about that, but if a spot suddenly opens up, I'll shoot you a message to see if you're still interested.
I've tried my hand at original works, and I have a few drafts floating around the cloud, but none of them feel compelling enough to dedicate a slot in my rotation to. I'm still playing around with original works, so that might change one day, but I have no idea when.
I want to eventually -- it was a really fun story -- but I already have a full plate, so adding on more right now would be a bad idea. Sometime in the future, hopefully.
Also, a bit of advice -- find a beta that's honest with you. No matter how good of a writer you are, you will make mistakes. A good beta can go back and forth with you to improve your work beyond just fixing grammar.
Hopes this helps!
The big secret is consistency. Give yourself a few hours a day and dedicate it to writing. Eventually, you'll form a habit and after that, the act of writing gets a lot easier. Try to keep to that time -- it helps with the creative process, and it prevents burnout.
