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.
Bu turning the lower case 'l' into an upper case 'L'. Normal text should really top and tail capital I's. It would save so much confusion.
There was a short science fiction book I read in Secondary School which used the term to describe taking two creatures and mixing their physical traits...
They have asteroid mines.
What they don't have are:
1) any way to conceal launches
2) asteroid mineral surveys
3) a space elevator
4) mining ships
This means that they don't have all that many people in space, have to check asteroids manually, can't really de-orbit what they mine efficiently...
Thank you, corrected.
Oh yes.
He probably did.
Yes, but that's already a good ending. What would there be to write about?
Well, I'm not @sombisy, but I'll do my best.
A complete fluke event that happened in our timeline during the American Civil War didn't happen. As a result, the...

I sigh as I push the proposed 'treaty' aside and go back to looking at the diplomatic officials opposite me.
"I'm not sure that I can help you, gentlemen. Black Arrow is a private enterprise and does not own any fission weapons."
The representative for the...

I assure you, Guy has his traditional haircut.
Yea, but that's Season 4.
I thought Aethyr was the Ursa expy? I know that Ursa was originally Faora renamed for the film (more obvious in the unedited version) but it doesn't make sense to me that a woman who's main mission in life was to murder...
She thinks he might be following her, and thus lied about his level of interest.
On an unrelated topic, it looks like the kryptonian 'Ursa' doesn't have a canonical full name. The closest I can find is that the version of her from Smallville supposedly had the family name 'Ka'. Anyone have...
No, that's correct.
Thank you, corrected.
Except the SI doesn't know what martial arts Karsta studied. Eradicator Superman didn't do anything that a normal biological kryptonian couldn't do.
He was surprised to meet her there. He knew that she was in the general region.

I'm not here to repair the entire planet… Tempting as an industrialised planet empty of sophont life is. Just one town. It's a good job that the people here built things to last; if an Earth city was abandoned for over a century I doubt there'd be anything...

Welcome aboard!
They're not one thread due to the thread size limit that was in force when they were posted. There's a Story Only thread if you don't mind missing the commentary.
You write 'misandrist' like it's some weird, out-there thing, because in your society it probably is.
For Amazons it was their ground state of being even before they were kicked off the mainland. The blessing of the goddesses meant that the usual male/female division of labour didn't really...
Thank you, corrected.
It might have been interesting while their culture was still misandrist, but at this point they're not and it's lost its impact.
Similarly, we've got the Sivanas for that role.
Sort of. Think 'lab technician' rather than 'leading professor'.
That's what the SI is...
