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.

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.

"Who are you?" The tribeswoman demanded more than asked. Despite her fierce nature and the low growl of the Drakloak beside her, I was unmoved. Hassel doesn't act as aggro as this usually, but he can be far scarier when he tries to be, and I won't let him stop me either.
"Hail and well met," I...
I sat back in my chair, waiting for class to begin, idly experimenting with the tablet in front of me. It was fancy, even fancier than my SuperTech smartphone, and user-friendly too, but I still liked the feel of a pen and paper in my hands more than these computers.
Alex sat beside me, seeming...
"Ahh, finally free from the wretched snow!" I declared brightly, stepping lightly on the frosty grass. "Well, mostly free," I amended, turning to glare at the mountain behind me.
This was a mistake, as it opened me up to a pile of snow thrown my way. "Gah!" I shrieked as the cold matter hit the...
Dream Walking classes quickly grew to be one of Elizabeth's most enjoyable classes; the Adept teaching them gave them a lot of freedom to play around with their powers. Most of the others were behind her in terms of manipulation, only Mordrell keeping up (his range didn't seem to be as broad as...
Janet Fontaine/Nursegirl POV
I woke up at the chirping of my alarm, groggily, but shaking it off fast. Turning over, I shut up the incessant beeping and worked on getting out of bed. It was 6 AM, which felt far too early. C'mon Janet, focus, I thought to myself, and soldiered on, getting...
Montenevera was definitely more bustling than the scant amenities surrounding Grusha's Gym, but it was still smaller than any other city I had been to. Even Zapapico felt livelier than this place. Not that I could truly blame them - we were deep into winter in one of the coldest parts of Paldea...
Geeta POV
Placing down my pen, I sat down behind my desk, allowing myself just a moment to relax. The piles of paper on my desk were neatly organized and not urgent. Though there is enough of it that even with my larger desk as Vice Chairwoman of the League, I have less free space now than I...
'Combat Basics' was the first class she had in the morning, and it was located deep within the mountain. Not as far down as the Great Tree, as she found out when an older Initiate helped turn her around, but about as close as most things were.
The room it was in had more than just the initiates...
Haha, fair. Both can be very diabolical 'fun.'
I mean, I don't think I had her say that everyone needs to become a trainer, though it does sorta feel like everyone can become one if they try. What being a trainer means to them will vary for each person, but it is generally possible for everyone.
While some members of my team were less helpful than others (Nightwing and Phantasm for lack of enthusiasm, Bahamut with too much enthusiasm), we eventually got the area in passable shape, heading off to the Pokemon Center.
Can't believe I didn't recognize the signs before. Most Mega Evolutions...
Once I trusted myself enough to shift my voice box back along with remaking a left arm, I walked over to the young healer, Miss Fontaine.
"I can't approve of how far you pushed yourself in that fight," the teacher chided me as she raised her glowing hands over my body. "Even if you can heal...
The next few days passed in similar fashion, with my parents checking out the ranch most of the time. Even on vacation, there were still some emails to answer and calls to make to ensure things ran smoothly in their absence. For my part, I made sure to give my team some basic training while...
The 'pressure' of the dream world within the mountain was incredible and strange. It felt like nothing Elizabeth had ever felt before, like being deep underwater but able to breathe. Thousands of lights and points of brilliance shimmered and sparkled all around, marking the dreams of other...
As we walked down, I immediately took in the environment and began planning out battle strategies. It was the arena with the most blocks raised around it, something that could help me with her fast rushes. Some of the geometric shapes raised about mimicked small buildings, cars, or even things...
"So, what sort of Pokemon should we get?" O'Nare asked expectantly of me, eliciting a surprised blink from me, sitting opposite her. The wind rushed by us as the Flying Taxi rapidly took Billy, O'Nare, and me to the Porto Marinada for the upcoming auction.
That wasn't the only place we were...
Elizabeth walked up to the Adept as she was called. "Elizabeth Wry?" She nodded. "Perfect. You'll be taking the door on the left. Head down the hallway and then take the… hmm... the third door, yes. Take the third door on the left; your trial will begin in there." Why the hesitation? Was he...
Kadir didn't bother with the stairs (like he had with his first match) and simply teleported down to the arena opposite of me. It was the first arena, the one with the most obstacles, just to make things difficult (for a moment I had misread it as the fourth and nearly wandered into the wrong...
After recalling my Pokemon I strode over to Grusha, offering him a handshake. "All that training, all for nothing," he muttered, seeming in a daze.
"Huh? But- that wasn't for nothing! That was an awesome battle and it happened because of all the hard work we both put in!"
The former...
