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.
If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.
I mean, I completed English 302 or whatever, did what writing classes I had to do for Gen Ed. Finished a AA degree in Small Business Management (2 years after starting a successful small business lmao)
But beyond that? I'm just a dude who writes for fun...
Same. It's a meme nowadays but STEM degrees are the only ones worth it imo. Arts and humanities need to be experienced and practiced rather than learned via classrooms
Even for people pursuing degrees in the writing arts, how many people take classes on writing smut. What would the title of that class even be? "Formulating a Good Dicking"? Although you have to admit that the tests would be very entertaining. "Rephrase this sentence to make it more likely for your reader to get a boner"
I agree with DKE (and mostly with Scott, below). Arts and humanities have a very strong tendency to turn into finishing schools. Also, prior-degree requirements for medicine and law are a bad idea (STEM + law can be useful, but shouldn't be a requirement since non-STEM lawyers are useful for some things).
You have an imagination and the ability to transfer that imagination into words. That's all that's required. Other stuff "might" help, but nothing can take the place of imagination.
I speak as someone who has a god-awful imagination and can only enjoy the creations of others since I seem to lack the ability to create my own.
