The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback 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.
It's the website equivalent to upgrading your computer operating system. We've moved into a new version that still gets security updates from the manufacturer, and comes with several nifty new features, but the user account and any files remain the same as before.
Or like buying a new table...
Progress in just twelve hours? Nice!
The site has a number of new styles, and I find them much easier to read threads in, plus they fixed the logo and Watched Threads submenu. Good job admins!
The upgrade seems promising in a general sense. I'll reiterate others in a desire for more style options, either similar to or the same as pre upgrade, alongside the Watched sub menu being above Find Threads in the mobile expandable menu on the left.
Here's hoping threads alert people properly...
OK, backed up my writing documents to a home server, followed by nuking them from GDrive. Arguably only a single story was risky due to notes about potential future sex scenes, with the rest being entirely combat or 'character with a crush' as potentially-problematic elements go, but better safe...
LibreOffice, I believe. I've used it in the past and it's pretty decent.
I'm used to writing on my phone, not a laptop, so while it's an option to swap to LibreOffice it'd be a bit of a shift. Gonna look into whether I can host locally on my home server, and access the files over LAN to edit...
I see at least one of the aliens have clicked that humanity advancing so rapidly in under a century is kinda troubling, although it seems their society at large would scoff and dismiss such a thing. Wonder how she'll react to the battery tech invention? That should be public domain knowledge...
Battletech isn't a franchise I'm familiar with, but an entire tech database from another interstellar humanity is sure to come in handy regardless, when put to use as anti-invasion technology. The tech fusion she thought up is already gonna be useful on a massive scale for ship movement, and I...
I can't say whether I'll end up writing a courier story, vs some other 'dimension hop' fanfic, but I'll certainly provide a link if I do post something using NaughtyBanette's concept.
Glad to hear it. We can bounce story ideas in a PM, and presuming you write in a Google Doc I can just look it over and suggest fixes or point out things which seem odd to me.
Someone asked, and I delivered:
Shouldn't the mana difference between 14th century France and the 21st century be pretty similar? Mana levels have dropped over time ever since the Age of Gods ended, sure, but I don't think you'd see a major difference till you went back over 1000 years. Septem would be noticable, for example...
This is excellent so far, I must say. Most FGO SI try to save the director, but I don't think I've seen one which has Chaldea utterly destroyed before, nor the protag's group forging on despite that. MHX was a delight to see summoned, and her cast interactions are great.
Looking forward to more.
Be rather puzzled at why everything's suddenly grown bigger. Notice I'm now paralyzed upon trying to get out of bed and failing to use my legs. Get grumpy at said paralysis. Find a wheelchair?
