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.
If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.
Oh hey, sweet! Welcome to QQ! If you're here this is also probably the easiest way to have a conversation in private; I'll probably toss you a conversation/PM this weekend. (I have some replies half-written for you, but I'm also drowning in grading lol, so it may be another day or two before they see the light of day >.>)
And yeah, QQ got most of its members when it split off from SpaceBattles, which as the name implies mostly caters to sci-fi fans of, like, two decades ago. So primarily male userbase. Diversity's been going up with time, but it's slow going, and the no-politics rule doesn't help especially in comparison with SufficientVelocity (another SB sister site).
Still, it's one of the few places on the web where I can post lewds and there's an expectation of feedback, which you just don't get from Literotica or even AO3, so it's kind of addicting :V.
I've always had the assumption that SpaceBattles (and its spawns) were more traditional story-writing than dominated by NSFW fanfics? xD (I've visited like, only a dozen times).
I used to post on GaggedUtopia precisely because as anonymous as the site was, it had a tradition of providing feedback. But recent years the sites' owners are really letting it go downhill... (sigh)
Unfortunately I don't think I can get the level of feedback you seemed to get here (=P). Audiences are a big deal and it does feel like the main flow here is "story w porn" rather than "porn w story" XD. The fact that Violet is written for female self-projection doesn't help x//3 . Bdsm with psychological exploration is a genre I've always felt is overwhelmingly dominated by female writers/readers.
Heh. SB and SV are generally pretty anti-lewds, yeah, though SV is opening up some. QQ, on the other hand, was literally founded for the purpose :p.
And you'd be surprised! A number of the most popular/most famous fics on the site are that way precisely because they're more insightful, psychological works rather than being pure lewds. As long as the lewds are there, people will come :V (Pun possibly intended)
The one downside, though, is that it [i]is[/i] fundamentally a forum, and so threads are only really discoverable for a short time after each new post. Basically, give it time; if you keep updating you'll start getting a stable of subscribed readers that can be counted on to keep the thread alive for a bit longer, and then it's a matter of hitting critical mass.
