We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Threadmarks: Observations Upon the Hard Choice, and a Narrative Illustration of Numbers
Kill 10 to save 100. Kill 100 to save 10,000. Kill 1,000 to save 100,000.
This, is the framing of the hard choice, a dilemma where someone dies no matter what. In story discussions, it is the argument that is posed whenever the debate arises on the morality of a character’s actions.
And yet...
A place for long, rambling thoughts painted with a veneer of scholastic philosophy and romanticism, because everybody gets them sometimes. Put yours here.
Brevity is not always a merit, and changing minds involve more than screaming back and forth about fallacies. I don’t mind just hearing you...
Part of the shitty part of the Pre-Butlerian Jihad situation, is that most people are dependent on the tech of technocrats
Post-Butlerian Jihad, there are STILL technocrats, they just work with the aristocrats, merchants and religious figures
You need a LOT of centralization to keep a ban...
Our next step, as it turned out, required less discussion than expected. Namely, we needed to capture The Vintner and The Sommelier. But first, we needed to figure out who the hell those people WERE. The Vintner shouldn’t be too tough, we were going to be introduced to all the winemakers, and I...
Chapter 2
It was the cold that woke me up, followed closely by the pain. Shivering, I pulled my cloak off and wrapped it around Adelaide as I stood up and stumbled towards the house. There might not be much that remained, but a blanket, anything that might see us through the cold of the night...
When those people come to Minda they will probably want to stay. he is getting his manpower plus the headache of the other governors having a fit losing theirs.
I saw this one setting where the writer put John Wick worldview into the Cyberpunk 2077 world, so there's like a Continental in like every city in 2075 laying around like a bunch of future adventurer's guild buildings. Alas, it's one of those "multiverse traveling" type stories, so MC didn't...
As usual, greedy overrides survival instincts.
I mean, I get it, the prize is awesome, but they know how normal dragons... Wyverns can burn a fleet down.
They have confirmation of 3 big dragons and still go "I can take them."
FAFO indeed.

Yang was the big fish in the small pond at Signal. And so far she's been the consistent second best in combat class. Getting beaten by Pyrrha? Well, no shame in that.
Except one day, Jaune actually beats Yang in a Combat Class match. He doesn't do anything fancy, he's just now competent enough...
Ok so can i ask for a visual novel?
The MC is a Dungeon master who just lost his group so he look for news players, he find some and to his supraise are all girls! But they are girls and as a players are a bit problematic, like the last girl was attualy the waitress in the shop who never played...
Hoping to return in the foreseeable future. I've had RL issues until recently, and I've been working on hammering out some of my other writing. I am planning to be working on a new chapter soon, though, with my goal being for a release on my birthday, the 23rd.
It probably comes from 2000 years of Christianity imprinting itself on the western English-speaking mind. The fundamental story was that when the Romans came for Jesus in the garden, Peter wanted to fight back, and Jesus said no, we're not doing that. Get behind me, Satan. They killed him and...
I agree.
Also I think the AIbros are putting themselves in a pre-Butlarian Jihad type of situation if they delegate too much of their cognitive processes to software.
On the question of discussing A.I. writing tools, well, I think it will be nice to have a thread about it.
In fact a thread...
It was only a 387k prolonged, kek. And pretty good, tbh? I'm happy with the way i set things up and then immediately said nope to most expectations. I'm even happier I caught so many people off guard when Link didn't let Zelda fall.
Besides, I have no pesky editors telling me to trim things...
