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.

The days that followed Emma's first encounter with the library were marked by failed attempts and thwarted plans. Vivian, ever-watchful, seemed to appear out of nowhere, her voice scolding and maternal:

But today was different. The house...
Threadmarks: Chapter 4: Discoveries Pt2: Secrets of the Library
The passage of time in the manor was marked by the rhythms of daily life. Morning light seeped through ornate curtains, painting the wooden floors in golden hues. Three months had passed since the market trip, and in that span, Emma's curiosity about the world around her had grown insatiable...
The weeks passed in a blur of unfamiliar sensations and endless adaptation. Emma lay nestled in her crib, her tiny fingers reflexively gripping the soft blanket that covered her. The world outside seemed vast and chaotic, a sharp contrast to the tranquil bubble of her newfound existence. Above...
