  • 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.

  • 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.

    People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    As the saying goes, perfect is the enemy of good. We're not talking about changing laws, we're talking about setting the policy of this forum.

    I suppose you extend that to false advertising in general, then? Or claiming that a food product does not contain nuts when it does, in fact, contain nuts? Or is AI just a special case because... reasons?

    You really love making false equivalences, don't you?

    What’s the difference between Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity?

    The TL;DR is that some bad decisions by SB staff lead to some people deciding to make their own Spacebattles with blackjack and hookers, and thus Sufficient Velocity was born. As for how well that worked out, you can look at their respective threads in the rants section.

    Fanfiction (and Fanfiction-Adjacent) Acronyms and Terms Guide

    I think it's The New Order or something like that, but if you search for TNO HOI4 I'm sure you can find it. TLM is, I presume, "the Long March" mentioned in the description.

    Fanfiction (and Fanfiction-Adjacent) Acronyms and Terms Guide

    TNO is a Hearts of Iron IV mod. ISOT is isekai at scale. OTL is original timeline.

    What if there a physical/spiritual law that makes it impossible to create weapons more advanced than medieval ones.

    Most fantasy settings have some anachronistic elements, but I wouldn't go that far.

    Worm: Necrotic Chronicles

    Probably because the author is mainly updating it on Spacebattles and not here.

    Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    From what I've seen of Stellaris, it doesn't really seem to have a coherent setting (that is to say, it's procedurally generated, instead of there being an alien species x with traits a, b, c in a specific part of the galaxy on every playthrough), so... unless you're narrating a game you played...

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I don't think these should be synonyms except [masochism - masosub]. Enjoying pain is very different from sadism, and dom/sub dynamics don't necessarily include either.

    Penalty for not disclosing ai work

    It's not a rule precisely because there's no reasonable way to enforce it. We can talk all about how it's "obvious" when someone is using AI, but at the end of the day there's no way to actually prove that something was written by AI.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Informative names are a good thing. If they're not going to put creativity into the story, putting it into the name is a waste.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I think it's fair to make the distinction between using AI images and AI-assisted writing.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    99% of protagonists that are claimed to be self-inserts are OC inserts.

    Starting advice for writing?

    Just start writing. Don't spend time planning, don't procrastinate, just write a short story (no more than 10k words). Once you manage to do that, then you might consider writing something more ambitious.
