1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    I don't know about being a hack, but he's definitely way too fond of the grimderp.

    Get lucky, right time, right place, to ride the superhero fad, gritty fad, and the wish fulfillment in web stories. Be early in, when there's few competitors. That's how most people find success, luck, and can't really begrudge him of that. Nonetheless, his writing shit.

    Well, with the exception of Wildbow Authority Figure Syndrome, every criticism I've seen levelled against Worm has been semi-frequently applied to the medium it deconstructs, so it could be presumed Wildbow told the precise story he intended to. Not a story I intend to ever read in full, mind, but an arguably well-executed one.

    A hack writer is a writer who is paid to write low-quality, rushed articles or books "to order", often with a short deadline.

    So yes, that's what he is.

    I can't see that anyone would ever accuse John McCrae, as an author, of taking his time, but, unless I'm mistaken, nobody's actually telling him what to write, yeah?

    Now that's just being pedantic. There is nothing in the modern pejorative of a hack writer that necessitates having a manager/overseer/boss.

    Yeah, but the "to order" part is pretty integral, I thought. Also! {Aizen}Since when were you under the impression that I wasn't being pedantic?{/Aizen} :3
