  • 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.

    Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    From what I've seen of Stellaris, it doesn't really seem to have a coherent setting (that is to say, it's procedurally generated, instead of there being an alien species x with traits a, b, c in a specific part of the galaxy on every playthrough), so... unless you're narrating a game you played...

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I don't think these should be synonyms except [masochism - masosub]. Enjoying pain is very different from sadism, and dom/sub dynamics don't necessarily include either.

    Penalty for not disclosing ai work

    It's not a rule precisely because there's no reasonable way to enforce it. We can talk all about how it's "obvious" when someone is using AI, but at the end of the day there's no way to actually prove that something was written by AI.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Informative names are a good thing. If they're not going to put creativity into the story, putting it into the name is a waste.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I think it's fair to make the distinction between using AI images and AI-assisted writing.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    99% of protagonists that are claimed to be self-inserts are OC inserts.

    Starting advice for writing?

    Just start writing. Don't spend time planning, don't procrastinate, just write a short story (no more than 10k words). Once you manage to do that, then you might consider writing something more ambitious.

    Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    Slay the Princess, Delta Green, Don't Rest Your Head, several other obscure TTRPGs.

    Change Width

    There aren't any browser settings for it that I'm aware of (unless you count add-ons that allow you to apply custom CSS) and anyway, almost all websites already have maximum width for various UI elements so you don't have this problem.

    Change Width

    It's called "responsive design." Basically, it means that you see different versions of the site depending on the size or shape of the viewport, so instead of having a separate mobile site, you automatically see the mobile-ish version if your viewport is taller than it is wide, or has width of...

    Change Width

    At the very bottom of the page, next to style chooser. Playing with the window size, if you make it narrow enough the button doesn't show up so it might indeed not be showing up on mobile. Honestly, the simplest way to fix the problem might be to just merge the two functions (not that fixing...

    Worm: Necrotic Chronicles

    Circus capes are an interesting idea I don't think I've seen before.

    Are there any Rebindable Keyboards without internet/app requirements?

    If you just want to rebind normal keys, Linux has native tools for that. If you're referring to extra keys many gaming keyboards have, you are going to need an extra program (though not necessarily the spyware provided by the manufacturer). Arch wiki is usually a good starting point.

    Worm: Necrotic Chronicles

    Just to make sure, is this version going to stay identical with the Spacebattles version?

    In search of a beta reader

    Just FYI, you'd probably have better odds of attracting a beta reader if you gave at least some indication of what the story is about. Still not great, mind you, but better.
