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.
Gun to my head, Jalapeno.
Would you rather eat pomegranates or tangerines as the only fruits you eat for the rest of your life? (These are provided for free, three times a day. You can not sell or barter them for other fruits.)
Chapter Two: How It All Started
In a dark room, a hologram flickered into being. It was a life-size hologram of Charles Xavier. Bluish and occasionally flickering at the edges.
He had a firm face, with his eyes slightly lidded like a man who had much to admit, and little time to do so.
He...
Chapter One: Into the Fire
I awoke to a cold, lonely feeling. I didn't even open my eyes and knew something was dreadfully wrong. I couldn't hear my breath. I couldn't hear the faint electrical hum of my refrigerator that I kept next to my computer setup for when I needed a quick energy shot. I...
I agree, It's almost always glossed over, even in stories where the actual person doesn't die or have anything happen to them. A good writer could make a great story out of that, but that's expecting too much from your average isekai writer, and even more so readers of isekai. You have to...
One Shot
It was pouring dark rain over the wasteland of the Sangvis Ferri Exclusion Zone as far as the eye could see. The drops of rain, they tasted of radiation and biting acid. Elisa sat silently upon a throne of cold metal, with black wires snaking throughout the room, attached to her body...
I'll take you up on that. When I say those come packaged with other things, I've almost never been wrong.
On the child soldier bit, it almost always devolves into military/army wankery and white washes a lot of shitty decisions of the involved army. Regardless of the morality of the situation...
These two genuinely make me drop a story regardless of how good the story is otherwise, since they come packaged along with a myriad of other things you know are coming later on.
Nerfing characters when specifically justified by the idea that keeping characters abilities as they were would lead to a "boring story".
If you can't make a story work with two characters, maybe don't make the story in the first place or use other characters, or an OC. But no, of course they...
Teaser: The Beyonder
It was a warm day. Everything seemed to be going as well as it should be. But then, something happened. Something the many architects of this strange reality did not intend. Something that would change not just the fates of the students, but the fate of this very reality...
Chapter 2 Extra: Haniel
"Yes, they would hide their tracks well if even we can't see them. Asking you was somewhat...foolish on my part." Ouranos says, and I feel ever so slightly wronged. But it's true. I don't know where the lab was, and I really don't know too much about Mother.
"I'm sorry...
Prologue: An Old Acquaintance
It was supposed to be death. She was, by all means and ends, lost. Yet something underneath the ground she lay upon called for her. As she watched the commander and her short-term comrades leave her to the unforgiving surface, something else came to her in her...
I guess I'll go with cali if this is a character creator. For all the deserved shit it gets for all the shitty policies, the cali countryside is very peaceful. I'll just live on a vineyard in peace with my wife for the rest of my life, or until the bombs drop. Sorry Ed Bruce, butI don't wanna be...
As in born and raised and be there for the rest of my life? Or just be born there? Do I get to chose where in Cali or Texas I get to live in? I'm going to need more information.
Would you rather magically receive ten dollars, or whatever functional equivalent it is in your country every time...
