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.

“We need to kill that thing!” Jill said as Leon dodged yet another attack while desperately trying to reach the waypoint that would render them out of range of the self-destruct sequence.
“It healed from a direct PPC shot,” Leon retorted. “And some point blank lasers. Whatever it...

Alice woke up to the sound of a fist impacting her apartment door, and rolled off of her couch onto the floor with a dull thud. “I’m coming,” She choked out loud enough for the person at the door to hear, and slowly got to...

Time travel stories would make you believe that time itself is a river. Constantly flowing in one direction across the axis of space. That altering one...
Chapter 11
Leon sped through the tunnels while following the directions that the AI had previously sent to his ‘mechs computers. He had to be careful in how hard he pushed his ‘mech, but he still maintained a solid pace.
In the corner of his vision, the timer continued to count down. Spurring...

After spending some time making sure that part of my share would allow me to keep my ‘mech up and running, I took said Rampage and went topside. After leaving the elevator, I began reliving the memories of the battle, of Jillian, and everything else.
“You have been found guilty of...

“Sheppard, I’m not willing to hand over all of our navigational data on a whim,” Caldwell said once they’d stepped into the hall and the door had slid shut behind them. “If I understand Dr. McKay correctly, that data is precisely one of the things he’s going to need to get us home.”...
Chapter 30
"Let's talk about your future, Duncan Fisher," One of the owners of the crazy Militiamech company that was helping make the Mackie again said to the younger man. Duncan swallowed. He still wasn't sure how he'd ended up here. Sure, he'd worked for his cousin Justin a few years back...
Honestly, my favorite is still "It's a Peaceful Life". From a writing perspective as well as how different it was.
That said, I definitely understand why "Breaking the Bro Code" gets a lot of the attention.
I don't write normal BT fics. If Drakensis and Chris O'Farrell are "The Top tier"...
