While looking for any level of decent fanfiction I got desperate and I ended up going on fanfiction.net, luckily I ended up landing on Buckharin's posts on there and while greedily devouring em when I saved his account I looked and found he cross posted on QQ got curious and the rest is history
 
I knew this forum existed, but I didn't take a peek before looking for possible places to publish my (future!) Publishing Derby entry. Some mates in a writing server recommended here along with AO3, Wattpad, Scribble Hub, and Royal Road.

So here I am.
 
A lot of people on /r/Wormfanfic treat this site like it's the devil's playground so I came here to look at what it had an entire subreddit clutching pearls over and found absolutely nothing that I couldn't also find on ao3 while scrolling with no filters. I still have no idea what that subreddit's problem with QQ was over.
 
I don't remember for certain, but I'm like 90% sure it was With This Ring. I was probably searching for DC fanfics on DuckDuckGo and encountered that story, realized how long it was (as far as I'm concerned, longer is better for a fanfiction, the only exception is if I don't like the fanfiction in the first place anyways), and followed the trail to its current home on QQ.
 
Saw offhand mentions of Questionable Questing in Beware of Chicken chapter comments on Royal Road, only really joined when I wanted to see more of Making Blue Archive in Blue Archive (after going through what was available on AO3), the TVTropes page for it led me here.
 
If I remember correctly it was via Shiro. I used to read on FFN, and I first read his fics on FFN.

My fanfic reading journey started with the Manga Re:Monster. I one day came across it online, it was the first manga I read. I then started reading more manga, and that eventually evolved into me reading the lightnovels that the mangas were based on.

That basicially started me reading books online.

I then came across FFN somehow, I forget the specifics, but I intitially only read HP fanfics, but I then eventually started reading HP Crossovers, I think that lead me to the Gamer System genre, where I found Shiro. Specifically his DXD fic, the original necromancer one I think.

Then two years later I discovered SV and a month later SB (I don't remember how), and then another month later QQ but from what I recall I didn't discover QQ from SV or SB. I think it was just from Shiro.

I then eventually stopped reading on FFN.

Now fast foward to today and I have been reading Fanfics for almost six years, and have been using SB and QQ for almost four years.

Where did you first hear about QQ? If it was Other, would you mind saying where?

Furthermore, if you feel up to making a post, what actually brought you here? Was it a quest or a story? Which one was it?

I was on a Discord server talking about a new story I was reading (Enlightenment Needn't Root in Flesh by Karmic Acumen on Royal Road) and found out that the author had a forum thread here. Furthermore, I found out that he had more stories here than on other sites, which was a boon.

Usually, if a story has a forum thread somewhere, I usually go over there since the story discussion there is usually much more involved than the comment section of websites like RR, A03, Fanfiction.net, etc.
