An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
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.
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.
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.
Strange. I don't even see the name of the thread as a link. And in fact, I don't even need to click on the actual link (unless I go to the actual alerts-page), clicking anywhere on the alert takes me to the post.
Tags not being enforced just means that it's not 100% effective. But even if it filters out only 50% of the threads you'd like it to, that's still better than nothing. And while 50% is rather optimistic for many of the tags, almost all threads have at least a setting tag.
For the same reason most people would really rather be warned if your story contains things like vore and scat. Just because you can tell when you see it doesn't mean it's immediately obvious or that you want to waste your time reading until it becomes obvious.
They're used in professional writing all the time and thus AI uses them as well, but since they're not easily accessible on a keyboard most hobbyist writers don't bother. So a lot of people in places like QQ and SB are treating them as an indicator of AI usage.
I have this problem as well.
And it's not a matter of cookie settings since other cookies from this site (like the one that keeps me logged in) work just fine.
Hermione is dead, Harry and Ron will be heavily traumatized (especially Harry since Hermione basically killed herself because of him), and Dumbledore will have a lot of cleanup to do (but at least he has Hermione's notes). Or so I assume; Hermione dying with no way to know what will happen next...
Once you realise the trick, changing the past is disgustingly simple. Oh, sure. You need a ritual circle. Expensive components. Lots of time performing calculations and preparing the ritual. But once you've changed the past, none of that matters because unless you mess up, you'll be in a past...

It is a quiet day in the outskirts of Emerald Forest near the Beacon Academy. Birds are singing and there are no Grimm in sight, only several students enjoying the nice weather.
BANG!
CRASH!

Pyrrha wonders what Ruby is up to. Ruby has not forgotten what happened the last time.

It's another beautiful day at the Beacon academy. Pyrrha Nikos is sitting on a bench in a hidden corner of the courtyard, revising her class notes and wondering why Ruby asked her there. It wasn't for...
