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 war machine of the North beyond the Wall awakened with the grinding inevitability of glaciers moving.
In Iron hill, the forges that never slept began to roar louder. The ancient iron mines, expanded by giant-labor and warg-guided excavation, doubled their output...
Tribrid Chapter 16: What The World Saw
The footage ran on every channel. On all three channels.
Three cameras captured it from three angles, and none of them matched on the details. But they all showed the same broad strokes: a blue-skinned woman threw herself through a plate-glass window on...

The Giant's Heart Tree rose above Weirstad like a cathedral built by mad gods. Its trunk spanned dozens of feet across, bark the color of dried blood, and the gigantic face carved into its base, ancient, patient, watching, seemed to follow you no matter where you stood...
Tribrid Chapter 15: Paris
The hotel room on Rue de la Paix had seen better decades. The wallpaper was peeling near the radiator, the carpet held the memory of a thousand cigarettes, and the window looked out on a courtyard where someone was practicing trumpet with more enthusiasm than skill...

He was a creature of the ancient world, standing nearly fourteen feet tall, his silhouette a heavy, sloping mountain of fur and muscle. He lacked the proportions of a man; his torso was immensely thick, his chest a barrel of solid bone and sinew that narrowed down into short, powerful...

Peter Maximoff
The house in suburban Maryland looked perfectly normal from the curb. Inside was a different story.
Mrs. Maximoff opened the door with the tired resignation of someone who had done this before. "What's he done now?"
"We just need to talk to him," Logan said, not...

The wind off the Stony Shore carried the smell of salt, stone, and fresh-cut timber. Below, the settlement sprawled in a rough crescent along the coastline—new longhouses with turf roofs, a half-built pier reaching into grey water, and the skeletal frames of what would eventually be green...
Chapter 13: On the Run
They traveled at night.
For the first two days, Havok and Noah stuck to back roads, sleeping in cheap motels when the sun came up. They changed out of their fatigues at a thrift store stuffing the clothes into a dumpster. Havok had grabbed a road map off one of the...

The valley stank. Not just smelled, it stank.
Musk and shit and fear, all of it rising up from the arena in this thick, wet heat, even though the pines around the rim were white with frost. Down below, the animals had gone mad and frenzied. They'd crushed up against the palisades...
LW 48
Erik's return to Weirstad lacked fanfare, but the success of his work in the Umber lands was celebration enough. Word had traveled through the weirwood roots that the first hot-spring-heated tunnel worked perfectly. The soil stayed warm despite the biting winds, and winter greens were...

Vietnam, 1973
The file that arrived on Captain Gerald Morse's desk described Private First Class Noah Calloway as a recent transfer from Fort Bragg, a mutant with superhuman physical parameters, touch-based limited telepathy, and a documented psionic...

When given the choice by King Alaric Stark where to begin his geothermal hot spring heated plastic greenhouse tunnels, Erik had chosen a location on House Umber Lands.
Erik did not choose House Umber by chance, nor by favor alone. The decision had been weighed...

Once the agreements were sealed, the tone of the camp shifted in a way that everyone could feel but few could name. What had begun as a wary standoff of two forces measuring one another across distance and suspicion now softened into something more...
