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.
Something new from me. To get me back to writing.
January 1st, 2020
The new year dawned, not with the usual bleary-eyed hangover from worldwide celebrations, but with a collective, global gasp. It wasn't fireworks that held the world's attention, nor the resolutions hastily made and destined...
I come to lying on my side in what smells like a swamp, the damp earth pressing into my face. My limbs feel all wrong, too short and bent in ways they shouldn't be. The air is thick and damp, filled with the scent of wet leaves, dirt, and something acrid that stings my nose. Groaning, I try to...
First time author, so please be gentle!

Sycieb felt, as he often did, that being outside the crawler was the worst possible place to be. No walls to protect you from raiders, no ceiling to protect you from the Sun, but worst of all? No great dragging limbs to propel you through these...
TANYA
Tanya adjusted the collar of her crisp white blouse, it was a sterile sort of perfection, about the exact opposite of what she had to manage daily. She didn't really need to be here— not this late, at least—but control and success belonged to those who anticipated the cracks before the...
Yoren stared at the group chat, his eye twitching as he glared at the image on his phone screen. His fingers flew across the keyboard.
[Jacob Dumas: It's not useful. I suggest you uninstall the game.]
His mood plummeted like a rock in water. The screenshot from the group member made his...
Thanks for clicking this story. This idea of mine had popped years ago back in the corporate days. Now you're here - I hope you enjoy it and see it lightens.
Planet Plant, Age 714
The sky stretched wide, unbroken. Not by steel or glass towers, not by the hum of neon lights, but by open...
A/N:1 I don't have a theme for this chapter.
But I will give you the main three songs I was listening to while making said chapter. So in no particular order.

When I came to, I found myself floating in eternal darkness. I don't know how I find myself here. My memories are so blurry that I don't even know what happens before waking up in this emptiness.
Am I alive? Dead? Maybe I am on the last vestiges of my consciousness before my brain shuts down...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: Where am I? But more importantly… Who am I?
In the midst of a tranquil, crystal-clear, light blue ocean, an isolated island could be seen. The island possessed an overwhelming beauty, almost like a priceless jewel hidden in the vastness of the sea, with its edges adorned by almost translucent white beaches, creating a beautiful contrast...
The Gift from Beyond the Stars
'This...is what I get.'
That's what he thought as he made his limps his way towards his destination. Blood drips from his leg, his face bloodied and his eye injured. Yet even with his state, he still was able to smile. For what, no one would know. Only he does...
1. Invitation
Eric gasped for air, but only blood filled his lungs. Three of his teeth were gone, and his skull was on the verge of shattering.
His opponent's titanium-knuckle implants and hydraulic-enhanced biceps were a deadly combination.
The bald man pummeled Eric relentlessly with...
“Oh. I’ve been stabbed. Neat.” That was the only thought that could stay in his head. Rain pounding the pavement, the cries of his best friend and the girl he had been too scared to confess to mixing in the background of life in this shitty part of the city. He knew they were trying to tell him...
Jasper Whitlock I
May 10th, 2052
As the bombs dropped, the world was thrust into chaos. News broadcasts echoed through the airwaves, spreading the grim reality of the devastation that had befallen the world. Panic and confusion ruling the streets, extending even to the once serene and...
What could be better than waking up young and rich? Our contemporary named Alex wakes up - in another world and another man's body. In the body of his lordship Alessandro Cassard, Lord of the Star Empire, who has just been completely assassinated. Is it easy to be a lord when you know nothing...
I ignore the creeping metal and echoing of my footsteps as I make my way through the ancient and forgotten hallways as I traveled deeper and deeper down below.
Looking at the makeshift watch that I managed to find a few weeks back, I frown as I realize just how long I had been gone.
Not long...
Prologue : The Kalpa Of Beginning.
This wasn't a normal world in the slightest this is the era before the beginning of creation that will forge the path to greater heights and the effects of a world that lived in the void shall be explored.
You are you and that is that you are a special...
I groaned as I pushed the door shut. I was exhausted. Today had been my monthly compulsory education download, and those always took it out of me. No matter how many times I sat in that uncomfortable metal chair and got let them stick those awful leads to my temples it never got any less...
