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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    That’s how it is when writing. I’ve felt the same way at times, you aren’t alone.

    That's pretty normal, though something about this comment just made me think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n877fayk3IQ

    I count myself among the people that really likes your writing, just so you know. Looking forward to more of your Warcraft stuff a lot!

    My biggest fear is that I may actually dismiss genuine critiques of my stuff as "mean reviews" since no one likes to be told they are wrong about something.

    Easier to think "they" are just "trolls" rather than to say to yourself "yeah this is poorly written and they are right".

    As long as you’re keeping an open mind about your writing and you’re willing to do self-examination, I don’t think you have much to worry about.

    Lord knows I do way too much of the second thing myself, my co-QM’s told me off for my self-deprecating ways more than once lmao.

    Maybe put out feelers for a beta reader if you’re still worried? It’s nice to get an objective view on things, and having someone step in to prevent you from doing a dumb’s saved my own ass on more than one occasion.
