We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
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 rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Chapter 36: Fatal Failures
‘A common view is that the period of the Ruby Order was the most turbulent in the history of Westeros since Aegon’s Conquest. That is, of course, demonstratively false. Compared to the infamous Dance of the Dragons, even the Succession with all the upheavals it...

"Look, if you want to do business with us and get our technology, you have to treat people like us - LGBTQI+ people - like people with all the right" is not colonialism. It's just setting standards. Don't want to be a decent person? No sweat, you just don't get advanced technology. That's not...

Alliance Headquarters, Brussels, Belgium, Earth, November 8th, 2000
“...has conceded the election. An election fraught with scandal after scandal wrecking any momentum his campaign might have developed at the start.”
“And what scandals those were, Bill! Not even...
The faceless men might not contact him - you hire them, they do the job, that's it. So, coordinating with them might not be possible. And, of course, Blake would literally smell that trap from afar :)
Yeah, the Lannisters had a lot of plot armour.
Well, it's possible - but with the current fervour amongst the Faith, the brothels might also have burned any such costumes a while ago.
Chapter 35: The Patsies
‘When talking about the effects of the Ruby Order's deeds on society, as much as one would love to, one cannot avoid a most unsavoury topic: Prostitution. Several contemporary sources cover the Ruby Order's stance towards it, though the vast majority of them can and have...

Earth Orbit, October 24th, 2000
“You want us to investigate Senator Kinsey?” Adora raised her eyebrows. That was a surprise. “I thought we shouldn’t meddle in the internal affairs of the United States.”
Jack smiled a little sheepishly. “Well… We just need some...
Yeah, I was actually thinking about that question being asked for a future chapter.
Tyrion, realising that Tywin is set on doing the wrong thing: Oh fuck!
Stuff is moving, but the POV characters aren't yet aware of it. But things will start tocome down, so to speak, pretty soon - a number of balls that have been juggling for very long are getting disturbed.
They would have to be convinced that abandoning Varys would be to their advantage first.
Chapter 34: Lingering Embers
'The majority of the primary sources of the event agree that the Ruby Order was responsible for saving King's Landing from a wildfire-fuelled blaze. If not for their quick action in ordering fire breaks to contain the fire, the flames would have quickly spread...

“...and we expect the damage to be repaired in about three weeks, faster if we can get more resources allocated to this factory.”
Catra nodded at the officer - Captain Killian from the Royal Engineers. She...
