The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.

This is an absolutely excellent work, thank you for writing it. It was intriguing throughout with just enough surprise to be delightful. Are you going to be posting this one as a book like you did phobos?
My only complaint would be some of the switching between present/past was annoying, but...
I am delighted to see you back and writing swordchucks! This has been very enjoyable so far - read it as you revised in your snippets thread but going to start reading mostly the edited versions here. Thanks for the fic :)
Anything better than: cut scene to tunnel exit without showing anything after prep -> Taylor in situation where she can absolutely save Lisa but just does nothing instead.
Coil pulls the trigger securing his 100% death what as soon as the other timeline ends. Not in character for slimy bond...
Actually beyond Taylor level stupid to let coil fire the gun as opposed to just popping him. Boring resolution that feels like a complete lack of payoff for the coil scene buildup.
I'm glad I happened to catch this while the thread was bumped despite it being in the sfw section I don't usually browse. Excellent work, I'm really digging the setting merger and the character development. Thanks for writing it!
I think this Taylor actually is racist now though? Earlier in the thread someone had mentioned how the join group -> adopt beliefs/behaviors pipeline is similar here to with the Undersiders in canon. I'm guessing this is meant to be a narrative element and will either be a source of conflict...
Another amusing chapter, good job.
Just curious, why do you spoiler tag the alternate PoVs instead of just marking them and noting the perspective? Are they canon?
Everyone has room to grow, no reason to feel bad. I like the fic so far and the writing quality is good. Maybe a little more show don't tell on actions / emotions, like I noticed the crying scene seemed a tad flat.
Binge read contact with the enemy, really good stuff! Ending wasn't my personal flavor preference but I think you did a really good job with it. Definitely one of the best finished works on the site!
