• 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.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Excessive technical descriptions, particularly egregious in BESRMoWs, Catalogue stories and Gamer fics. I did not come here to read a user manual, or product (heh) catalogue. Real-world scenes for self-insert prologues that overstay their welcome. I understand that the mental image may be...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    One Unicorn Rule. Ignoring SI's/OC's entry method (unless explicitly relevant to story), one OCP/out-universe element. Power, companion, item, etc. Everything else in-setting. At most, source foreign elements from one external setting at maximum. Two or more is just pollution.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Collectible love interests, harem or monogamous. Trophies instead of actual life partners. A number of these effectively vanish from the story after their "capture", except for occasional cheerleading.
