  • 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.

  • 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.

    I never posted them here, but they should be up at both Spacebattles and SV, in the misc Worm ideas threads. Links for each site's set are in my signature at that site.

    Path to Munchies (Worm AU)

    I'd just like to take a moment to thank everyone who voted for Path to Munchies in the /r/WormFanfic Best of 2017 polling. Thanks to your support, PtM took top honors for Best Completed Fic and was runner up to UnwelcomeStorm's juggernaut of a story about a girl and her doG for Best Crack/Humor...

    Extras: Path to Compost (more dropped bits)

    This is all non-canon; QQ apparently lacks the "Apocrypha" threadmark category. This is best summarized as an entire dropped plotline. The first piece is... bleh. It doesn't really add anything to the story, but I still like the interaction between the characters. The fourth piece is the...

    Extras: Omake: Costume Shopping

    An omake inspired by this post over at SB. Carol Dallon – October 4, 2003 – 3:30 PM Taking the girls shopping for Halloween costumes is always such a strange experience. I’ve spent so much of my time wearing a costume – fighting in a costume – that the idea of wearing one for fun is almost…...

    Extras: Path to Poutine, Dinner, Pancakes

    First things first: This is an omake collection, taking place at various times throughout the story. Some of this is canon compliant, some is not; I specify before each segment to minimize confusion. Second: Taylor doesn’t directly appear in any of these. These are things that happen in the...

    Threadmarks: Path to Binge Drinking

    Lisa Wilbourn – Friday, March 18 – 8:40 PM As she finishes the story, I cradle my head in my arms. “My life used to be so much simpler.” “When, exactly?” “Oh, shush.” I stand up and start rummaging through my kitchen cabinets. I have a bottle of rum tucked away somewhere… “Third cabinet...

    Threadmarks: Part 13: Epilogue (Path to Cookies, redux)

    Eidolon – Sunday, January 9 – 10:30 AM I blink in surprise as I enter the conference room. “Contessa, welcome back! We’ve barely seen you since September!” After months of absence, walking in to find her sitting there expectantly is a bit startling. She’s clutching a plain, white box, but...

    Threadmarks: Part 12: Path to Lasagna

    -------- Danny Hebert – Wednesday, January 19 – 6:50 PM “I think Ms. Romano gave me superpowers for Christmas.” I set my fork down; it’s going to be one of those conversations. I was almost done anyway. “Honey, I’m sure that made sense inside your head, but you’re going to have to give your...

    Threadmarks: Part 11: Path to Cotton Candy

    Colin Wallis – Saturday, February 19 – 9:30 PM Getting blindsided by Squealer could only be more humiliating if she hadn’t developed a cloaking device for that damn truck. I’d been running a late patrol after a long day of working on the project. It should have been a simple run – putting in...

    Threadmarks: Omake: Path to Donuts

    This was originally posted for April Fool's Day. Completely non-canon, of course, but a lot of fun to write. This has some references to the Brownie Pan omake. If you haven’t read that, it’s the last section here. -------- Taylor Hebert – Saturday, March 12 – 6:10 AM I know it’s almost done...

    Sean Wilson – Saturday, February 5 – 5:30 PM “Alright, time to go over the plan for tonight and… Damn it, stop screwing around with that!” I take a deep breath, hold it for a three count, then release. I turn my attention back to the hired help. “Look, I get it. Believe me, more than anyone, I...

    Threadmarks: Canon Omake: Greg's Awful Monday

    Greg Veder – Monday, January 3 – 7:40 AM Aw, man, why do they have to pick on Taylor first thing? They were all just, like, waiting to ambush her when she walked in. She tried to turn around, but Sophia just pushed her back into the group. I was going to ask her how her Christmas was and tell...

    Threadmarks: Part 9: Path to Spaghetti Carbonara

    This was originally going to be just an interlude, a series of news clippings; the actual reactions were going to be in the next part. I decided to weave them together to give them better context/flow, and that created another double sized (for me) chapter. This is also the chapter where a lot...

    Threadmarks: Canon Omake: Path to Friendship (and brownies)

    Some slice of life as Taylor begins adjusting to Arcadia. Everything other than the last bit is canon. -------- Jordan McVee – Tuesday, January 18 – 3:40 PM It’s while we’re walking to Mark’s house that Andy decides to try being funny. “So, the new girl,” he drawls. “On a scale of one to...
