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 insanity isn't inherent, to my knowledge. Just a consequence of the voices.
Part of her current charmset includes functionally infinite willpower generation with which to resist the screaming/whispering of the voices.
Probably a title in the theme of Exalted charm names. Something like...
Timeless Assimilation Harlot
Which is an abbreviation that Taylor should find familiar.
The Simurgh has explicitly, directly manipulated Taylor at multiple points in the story. Ziz spoke directly to Taylor through Ballistic's triggered memory. One of her feathers is part of Taylor's blade that can cut anything. Because Ziz gave it to her. And now it's in the Elsewhere space, with...
That's part of why this specific method of power generation is kind of brilliant. Taylor's rate of acquiring powers is exactly as fast as the plot allows, and her method of gaining those powers is a strong driving force in the progression of the story. You need her to get this specific set of...
As written, I wouldn't allow it as the ST. MHM says it only replaces dice pools on rolls, while ULW specifically calls out the strength stat.
Then again, since Taylor is allowed to make attacks with the mind-hands, it's not an exact copy of MHM, and I'm not the Storyteller for this "game", so...
Yeah I've started checking through your works since The Passenger caught my eye. I don't look for new stories to follow on QQ very often, since my followed threads list is... unnervingly long already. I mostly glance through the front page periodically to see if any writers I already know have...
Now that I think about it, I'm really into what could be referred to as "tulpa-like" characters. Hachikuji (whom I presume you know), The Shadow of Lasciel in the Dresden Files, Jane from the Ender's Game sequels...
Your Tulpa story reminded me of my old days on /x/. I never really got into it, but I glanced through a few threads about tulpas and "how to" guides. They were really common.
Hah, being called oldschool is the first time I've actually felt old. I was underage at the time, but nobody cared as long as you didn't make it obvious.
I believe that the meta-story of the Waifu Catalog is that it's a superdimensional slave trade company whose ultimate benefactors are superordinate beings the ground-level characters cannot fathom, and desire to be entertained.
Exactly so. There's a point-buy system for features and characters, and the point limit is entirely up to the writer. You can give the main character superpowers of some sort, or leave them entirely dependent upon the eponymous waifus.
It's from exalted: it can't be that restrictive. If removing a Sidereal's hands prevented them from using PST, then they wouldn't be awesome. Taylor's tests earlier in the story concluded not that it's her physical hands only that could confer the bad touch, only that her mind hands could not...
I mean, this is QQ. Honestly though, it's more just assuming the reason someone cared was for aesthetic reasons, since, as Taylor mentioned internally, anything outside her torso/head is purely cosmetic now that she has mind-hands and motile levitation.
Why would Bonesaw bother fixing a non-debilitating injury? She may as well waste time cleaning up scars and give breast implants as give Taylor a superfluous set of hands. I don't particularly find the double-amputee look sexy either, but this story isn't really that kind of material (closest it...
