An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
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.
Oh Dilbert, so goofy and unthreatening.
Ha ha, the bosses are dumb!
Ha ha, the co-workers are dumb!
This comic is smart just like me!
I hate my job, good thing I receive this catharsis every morning or I might not show up.
Dilbert: brought to you by the same people who own the offices.
...it's... it's Jim-Bob. You named this man... Jim-Bob.
I... I'm going to go find something to distract myself from this fact. Because, for some reason, the fact that you straight up named this man JIM-BOB is too much for me to handle.
Good day sah. Well done.
Threadmarks: Taylor finds Mjolnir in the locker, part 4
They called it "intake."
It sounded sterile. Clean. Like something that happened at a clinic, not after you'd shattered a steel locker door and walked out of a storm with a myth in your hand.
They took me to the PRT building through a side entrance, off the books. I didn't see any other capes...
"Who would have thought…"
At the edge of a high cliff from which a beautiful cascade of crystal-clear water fell, Zoe remarked in a slightly surprised voice. At that moment, Frank, who was standing next to Zoe, added in an equally surprised tone.
"We're on a floating island…" With his mind...

Interlude: The Watcher in the Rain
The storm was not hers.
Not yet.
He stood across the street from Winslow, under the canopy of an old bookstore whose neon CLOSED sign buzzed faintly against the darkened glass. The rain soaked through his coat, ran down his neck, pooled in his boots. He...
I was just about to go get food, checked my account and shit that hadn’t charged me in months because it was canceled all hit today to steal forty bucks from me!
I did what you’re supposed to do in this situation and guess what? 7-10 business days.
Motherfucker…

Threadmarks: Taylor finds Mjolnir in the locker, part 3
The longer I waited, the calmer I felt.
Not the calm of peace — the calm of control. The hammer pulsed against my thigh like a second heartbeat, steady and deep. The bugs around me had settled, but not dispersed. They were waiting, just like me.
For once, I wasn't the one backed into a corner...
Threadmarks: Taylor finds Mjolnir in the locker, part 2
The sky had turned dark by the time I walked out the front doors of Winslow. I didn't know how long I'd been in the locker. Minutes? Hours?
The air was different. Heavier. Charged.
I clutched the hammer tighter. It didn't feel like a weapon. It felt like… an extension. A part of me. I didn't...
Big money just caved to a bunch of Emu controlled Karens.
"Big money" is a collection of Pointy Haired bosses from Dilbert, not Arasaka.
They like making money and they hate bad publicity.
Given a chance between sittling quietly and fighting they will chicken out.
"Yeah, that doesn't help. What's an Amazo?"
Before Batman could explain, the android let out a low, guttural roar—and launched itself straight into the air.
Both arms came crashing down into the pavement, sending a shockwave that shook the whole lot. Crates toppled. The van flipped sideways...
So I was talking with someone on reddit and I just reinforced my Idea that Qrow and Raven are just Drunk Dante and Vergil with Vagina.
Even their Weapons- Dante is known to use Sparda, and if you have played with that sword you know that during horizontal swings it opens up into a scythe and...
Basically this. It has been a recurring issue in all human societies since the beginning: Do you try to reform the existing system and root out corruption and injustice, or do you tear it all down and try again? The first we have seen many times in history and it has sometimes been successful...
I mean this kind of moral quandary has been staple for stories for such a long time that you can't say someone ripped someone off.
You have one side that believes in a gradual and strictly monitored change in the system for the better so that no one get's left behind or is hurt during the...

I couldn't breathe.
Every inhale scorched my throat with bleach and bile, thick with the stench of rot and death and cruelty. My lungs screamed. My skin burned. My mind—my mind was unraveling.
They left me in here. Sealed me in. Trash, dead animals, used pads, broken glass… and me.
I...
POV: Annelise Koenig
The Command and Control room of the BSG Daedalus was surprisingly similar to standard SLDF Command and Control centers. The room had a centralized table around which numerous secondary terminals were housed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really spend any time reminiscing about...
