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.

I'm involved in AI - adjacent fields.
Trust me, it's nothing like that. It resembles nothing so random.
Which is why I feel nothing but a combination of pity and scorn for AIbros, because LLMs do not have the ability to evolve like that. At all.
Hence, the "tool abused by idiots who think...
I agree. Not everything needs to be a math problem, but using the king of Fantasy himself Tolkien, Gandalf coming back to life didn't feel like an asspull because Tolkien very strongly hinted at him being more mythical than man from the very beginning even before Gandalf's full origins where...
The logical need to have everything down to exacts is something I've started to push away from in stories. Its a modern trend that sometimes gets in the way of writing a fantasy tale
Makes sense. I'm only asking because power scaling is very important, if incredibly tedious. You have to be able to show the readers why person X is stronger than person Y, if there both throwing out magic spells and anime bullshit like candy.
You'll note for Magic the Cost is part of the fuel. Investments are inherent enchantments. That means no cost but by being a aspect of the person instead of a called upon power, the spirits are capped on how much they can give. Blessings aren't mighty sorcery.
