  • 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.

  • 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.

My brother in pagan animist stuff, thou shalt not use the forum's text widget as an editor.

Use a different program (with incremental local saves and no network dependency) to edit your chapters, then copy-paste into the forum's text widget when it's ready to post.

Man! Tell me about it. I was trying to be clever by trying to add a line break to the title (Shift + Enter to automatically post your thread btw) so I could make the thread title have a tagline. If it worked like that, it would've said:

>failed my reincarnation, now I'm stuck as a FUMO.

Ever have one of those days?

But nah, almost ended up doing the one thing that scares me most in this forum.
 
Why was I gone for so long?

In an event that caused a violent panic attack once I got the diagnosis (as in my panic violently kicked my ass, not me getting violent) I got COVID. Fucking amazing, right? Managed to avoid it even while homeless and then after a visit to the hospital for a heart attack I apparently caught it. I'm lucky that I was vaccinated before ending up on the streets, but I'd not had any boosters so it wasn't an absolute defense.
My generally poor health and 37 years of smoking meant it was a very bad time. Very bad. I genuinely thought at quite a few points that I was going out like my Dad. It haunts me how okay I was with it. Recovery is ongoing because I was in shit condition when it started.
While homeless I lost about 30 pounds, since February I lost a bit over 140 pounds. I weigh less now than I did when I was 14 years old and my stomach looks like a fucking rasin. If I stand the right way my stomach looks kind of like a VHS ready torso vagina straight out of Videodrome.
My shortness of breath is worse (probably permanently) and not caused by my heart, and none of my clothing fits at all. Like, none of it. My fucking boxers slide down inside my oversized pants. I can kind of make the pants stay up most of the time but the underwear is chancier. Because of where I am and the near absolute lack of transportation I can't even go seek a damn clothing bank. But at least I'm probably no longer in immediate danger of dying, so at least there's that
And I'm having a lot of trouble getting any kind of benefits both because I moved and because of other stuff not to be mentioned on QQ, also I've not been able to do paperwork for quite a while now.

On the upside, the fevers and random Youtube audiobooks created my newest story, so I have that now that I can write again. Also, listening to and watching a repeating playlist of Dpeezy2099's Jailhouse recipes while running a 103 degree fever has ingrained a deep and unhealthy fascination with the idea of making a jailhouse spread

I don't have the spare money or the desire for kidney damage needed to do it. Yet. But I'm pretty sure I have brain fog or something so who knows if I might have a breakdown and go for it at some point...

I'm currently recovering from homelessness and trying to rebuild my life and buy an electric bike/scooter to facilitate that. Also, I've been hella sick for months, none of my clothes fit anymore and lost my phone.
