The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.

Which reminds me - I've still got no idea what BITN stands for is short for.
FWIW, I... well, I can't say I enjoyed all of it, but this was a good (terrible) story.
ses, as usual, is spot on.

In summary:
Congratulations on both a completed story (and holy crap, the update rate), and a quality telling.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
My personal curiosity...
Oh you.
This chapter was very entertaining.
I cringe at what's going to come from the meeting with Accord.
The PHO segment did a great job of updating our knowledge of the worldstate simply and succinctly.
And it was quite funny.
Thanks/well done.
So Willpower's not equivalent to Fate Points. That makes better sense.
Thank you for that.
I still stand by 'I'd take that trade any day' and think she's underestimating it, though.

"All it does".
"ALL it does".
"ALL IT DOES"?!
I'll grant you, I know next to nothing about Exalted specifically, but I'm familiar with the mechanic (Fate points, hero points, etc.) and hello?! she can generate Willpower!
How the hell is that an 'all it does'?
I can only assume that the...
The rest of your post is spot on, but this?
Nope. Jack's only advantage is Shard politics.
Unless there's a different WOG that contradicts this, read the top two comment chains.

Not entirely sure how you mean that.
"How am I getting an Abaddon Shard from Cauldron?" - Abaddon and Eden traded shards. It's plausible (if not anything like common) to pick up an Abaddon Shard through Eden.
Like how Contessa picked up PtV (from Abaddon through Eden, unless I completely...
Very few people (outside of Cauldron) know about Contessa. Even in modern times, at best she's a rumor, a bogeyman.
Among those of know about Contessa, very few know her name.
Even fewer people know that there's anything about Contessa to fix.
She may not be as desperate as they become by the...
The pain swiftly fading, I open my eyes to a white room. A voice, female with a slight French accent, speaks: "I’m going to leave, now, for my own safety. I recommend sitting and resting before anything else. When you’re prepared, stand and see what you can do to exercise your new abilities."...

Read Worm around... 4 years back?
Been primarily reading Worm-fics since.
Ended up on fichub, browsing the cache (back when they still had it), backtracked a couple of stories to QQ.
Would have to dig to see if I can discover which the stories were.
Then, recently discovered that...
