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.
Hey! Welcome to QQ, I for one have been reading your work as a lurker in SB, and knowing you're importing your work here? I am overjoyed, that's what!
Loving your grounded perspective in spite of the 'rare' pokemon the protagonist has managed to befriend and how you gave each 'mon their own...
And yet, the obvious signs that I mentioned you ignored.
Go ahead and enjoy your AI trash, I'll focus on human-sourced products.
If a human learns to write from AI? They deserve to be ignored, there's a reason why a foundation of readers is to read works from known and influential writers to...
Sure, it is 'emotional'.
But, here's my retort:
It is a mangled corpse even when edited.
It is lacking in character as it is dead.
It shows no personality whatsoever, as it is dead.
It shows no care from the 'parent' to delegate to a virtual monkey with keyboard to string words along.
The...
Look, when someone leaves the circular and repetitive lines along with contradicting details and paragraphs that repeat themselves if worded differently, they deserve to be known as lazy failures who didn't even bother reading the shit they put their abortion generator to spew.
I do agree with...
You find a work that suddenly turns to AI-gen crap that isn't edited?
Provide a scathing constructive criticism that also warns any future readers that the lazy fuck in question didn't even bother editing and polishing the abortion they posted, that their whatever number of early chapters did...
I'd recommend focusing each broad story arc as if they were a novel with three arcs, so an average of fifty thousand words to show what you want for it and give it proper closure and a hook for the next one. Then rinse and repeat to move the story forward. :)
That way you can pace yourself and...
Meh, deleted as requested. Now please delete from your quotes and stop asking things if you're not interested in being objective.
Go forth, do research instead of acting emotional as you just did, and then reflect on what I meant. Not hatred for the people, but imperialistic cultures are always...
I am not that well-versed in particular historical things, but rough draft of it?
Europe would be mostly stuck dealing with its own issues, same with the other territories as logistics would be difficult to ensure without military might backing them in the form of long-range assault.
Perhaps...
If it was present from the beginning and did nothing but that? If it could be accessed somewhat by power of faith, will, or intellect, magical arts could be developed in 'scientific' manners, religions would be about the same.
No clerics or paladins, as there'd be no divinities but this strange...
It'd depend on what this supernatural force enforcing this rule actually is.
And if it happened to a world without it previously, or if it was present from the beginning.
Each path lead to a different conclusion.
As I doubt whatever guiding forces gives that much of a damn for micromanagement, wouldn't shock me if it this world turned out similar to how western fantasy worlds based on Dungeons and Dragons would develop.
I bet lots more investigation towards magic/spirituality would be invested in, as a supernatural element would be confirmed as 'guiding' development of hard sciences.
Probably lead to consecrated or cursed weaponry to bash other people's faces in with.
Looking forward to your Ruby Haze Encore on this site, as the original one was quite a good read even if far too focused on character interactions and daily minutiae rather than moving the plot along at a fast rate. I'll be cheering you on for your return to it! :D
