We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
QuestionableQuesting has new Moderator positions. To submit your application, please see this thread.
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.
But what if the original author has died or disappeared from the internet and no longer responds? Or what if it's some Chinese fanfic hosted on a poorly designed Chinese website with no way to contact the author, or registering on that Chinese website requires a Chinese phone number?
If we are talking about original works, I completely agree with this rule change. However, I cannot agree with applying these rules to fanfiction. Take ASOIAF, for example—George Martin has repeatedly expressed his disapproval of fanfiction based on his works. And yet, I see a mountain of ASOIAF...
Yeah, Cambrian was deleted after one of his readers whined about him to mods.
While megamatt09's ffn page looks like he deleted his fics from ffn on his own.
