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.
Vice iirc went broke a while back, then got completely gutted, even before that it's rep was in a bad shape and since then web based journalism supported by ads and subscriptions has gotten worse and worse revenue-wise.
Their new owners want to recoup their investments, so when somebody shreaks...
I really enjoy your Justice League, they actually feel like the heroes they are and don't force MC into compliance like you see in a lot of DC fics.
MC is also great.
It was sexier when Ivy said it.
I keep remembering a meme someone posted somewhere years ago, which was based on that "coffee you're my only friend" template. I can't find it now, but in that meme, the initially black coffee says, "Billionaire pedophiles run every country and the battle of...
You both might be interested to know that Vice published an expose on "Collective Shout", the folks behind the delisting of NSFW content (and, of course, plenty of SFW content) on both Steam and itch.io. And then that expose was suddenly pulled by the venture capital firm that owns Vice...

Chapter One: The Obligatory Reincarnation Fairy is more Muscular than Expected
When I died, I expected there to be less fire. Some might think flames being my painful end was symbolic of what awaited me in certain Abrahamic religions based on my pornographic choices, but I'd...
Threadmarks: Taylor finds Mjolnir in the locker. Interlude 4
Scene: Hebert Residence, Brockton Bay Docks
January 3rd, 2011 – 10:52 PM
The house was too quiet.
Danny Hebert sat at the kitchen table, hunched over a cold cup of coffee that had gone untouched since the moment he poured it. The small kitchen smelled faintly of salt and engine grease from his...
Threadmarks: Taylor finds Mjolnir in the locker. Interlude 3
Scene: PRT ENE – Armsmaster's Workshop, 11:14 PM, January 3rd, 2011
The lighting was dim, save for the multi-monitor array casting a pale blue glow across the cluttered workbench. Toolkits, power cells, and half-dismantled drone parts lay pushed aside — temporarily forgotten. Armsmaster stood...
The first breath of free air hit me like a revelation. Clean mountain wind, carrying the scent of pine and snow and something indefinably wild. No smog, no industrial chemicals, no underlying stench of a city slowly rotting from within. Just... purity.
Behind us, a pillar of black smoke rose...
Threadmarks: Chapter 12: The Logic of a Villain: Act
Silverhill, once known as Silverhill City, is located at the southeastern foot of the Silverhill, which stretches across the eastern side of Clegane's Keep.
Silverhill is rich in silver and gold mines, most of the land belonging to Silverhill. Just a few dozen miles beyond the small forest...
Threadmarks: Chapter 11: The First Administrative Meeting
"I will repay you!" Gregor's voice was abrupt and commanding, cutting off Maester Harry before he could protest. His tone left no room for argument. He turned his attention back to Mark, who dutifully distributed three gold dragons to the last three families.
Among the eleven villagers, four...
The keep's stone walls offered blessed relief from the chaos outside, though not from the heat. Even here, smoke crept through cracks in the masonry, and the distant roar of flames was a constant reminder of what lay behind us.
"Stay close," Hadvar warned as we descended into the keep's lower...
Yes
Half and half, if I didn't like how an try did rsult, I usually rewrote the prompt to adress the weaker points of the narrativee, or add more info.
Half and half again, I tend to start with a definite idea of where I do want the plot to move, but the AI tend to guess well what I'm trying...
Next up Pacifists will want to ban all violent/military content so children can be truly safe.
If only we had laws that forced all the important monopolies like utility companies, payment processors and internet service providers to act neutrally and serve all members of public.
Did Weber just more or less unravel the whole plot of Iron Man 3 and Avenger's franchise!?
Iron Man 3's plot was Tony dealing with the PTSD that accumulated as a civilian that was exposed again and again to major life threatening situations. He desperately clings to the identity of Iron Man to...
