  • 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.

Questionable Questing

Have you tried maybe not doubling down on the smut at the earliest opportunity, ever? Because every Quest I've seen has been real heavy on lewds and not much else.

I mean I can see why you'd come to that impression as an issue, but it's not an overfocus on lewds as a problem. I'm definitely focused on them, but my track record at quest running is roughly the same whether I go light on lewds, super heavy, or straight up no lewds at all.

If anything, non-lewd quests are where I flounder most, which is part of why I've even run so many on QQ at all.

To the extent I *can* concretely identify my most common problems, I'd divide them up into;

1: Letting the quest go in a direction I'm not comfortable writing. Mostly, that's something I messed up on early days since it's relatively obvious, but there's been the occasional slip up since.

2: Letting things get too esoteric. I've had multiple quests where I can concretely say 'this quest was chugging along fine, I was enjoying it, it was popular, and then I did a dream sequence or something and it died'.
