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.

Sun Wukong's 72 transformations are not actually forms but 72 magical powers, but Bodhi offered him either 72 earthly transformations or 36 heavenly transformations, being a monkey, thinking the bigger number is better, he didn't realize that the latter 36 was more potent, but he was looking for immortality, which was in neither, but he didn't learn this lesson until much later, much like all life lessons
Where is the author most active these days? I'm subbed on patreon but it hasn't been updated in over a year. I hear they have a discord but I can't find a link to it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
I was thinking of the trend of chaos gacha going on and the fact that you are one of the few doing MLP fics and how perfect that mash up would be, and that it would be right up your alley.
You know the recurring problem that has always been minor but keeps growing with these idol dramas is that they're all dubbed, like, at first people made fun of the actors being unable to memorize lines and just kept saying "1231231" on set and then getting voiced over in post, actors not even speaking good mandarin, but these days, the voice actors don't even sound like the actors, like an aunt voicing a loli
Hi, I have been trying to get verified since last week and apparently I just found out that Gmail is not a very good match with QQ, so can I still change my email or do I have to create a new account?
Just an update on things.
I am alive and healthy-ish.
I have been writing this whole time.
In two weeks I'll be publishing a new fic, two after that will be over the top and likely in December is when the next Black Queen chapter gets released.
I just saw your post about using a story as a reference for a Stone Age isekai. Bronze Age stories, or more general later era nomadic ones might be useful references. Not sure if that one has horses or just goats, sheep and cows.
An easy measure of the quality of a wuxia fanfic writer is the Golden Basin scene, where the Songshan Sect people threaten Liu Zhengfeng with his family members to find Qu Yang. A shit writer would just fight them. A mid writer would bring out the Imperial Court to deter them. An okay writer would point out this is against the Jianghu rules; meaning they can kill their families too
The Chinese entertainment stories where the MC goes over to California/Hollywood to make dollars and gain international fame to gain superiority in China always have the male MCs fuck/sell himself to various Democrat party leaders there, like as if by having them means easy access to Oscars or whatever, but if having connections alone is enough and talent/skill isn't needed, then Amy Schumer
In regards to your question about why people hated Veilguard, it boils down to the watered down writing and complete dismissal of almost everything that happened in the previous DA games. It was an adequate action/rpg, just a bad DA game.
In the end, for all that Akainu is kind of an ass, Koby the king of deserters, Buggy never punished for killing a town, etc... I feel like Yasopp is the worst, like those guys just did shit to other people, Yasopp abandoned his wife to raise his son alone while sick and then died of sickness,
but then again, Shanks knew this, and still convinced him to come to sea with him, so maybe Shanks is worse
