Also most likely the SB version. The mods n head admins there are power tripping tyrants salty that 90% of site posts are about worm.
Eh, that's pop culture for ya. I remember for a while the internet was all about MLP, and before that it was something else, and after that it was another something. Familiar of Zero crossovers were huge for a while. Currently we've got Worm, I'm sure eventually it'll have its day and we'll jump on something else.
Not worth stressing about. A good story is fun to read no matter where its set.

For future reference, my stories and quests are SV-only*. There's an original story I'm working on—right now, actually—that I've been considering putting on Royal Road later, but I still won't be putting it on SB. You're not likely to find a thread of mine that remains locked unless it's dead and I've specifically asked for said lock.
*An Impractical Guide to Ascension was briefly on both, before I realized just how abysmal SB is on the neo-nazi, "treating specific groups badly isn't political, but objecting to that treatment is," and "this doesn't rise to infraction level (even if it's toxic as hell)" fronts. So, I won't be posting any more stories over there.

True, I'm following a few good fics on SB. But the more toxic an environment gets, the harder it is for authors to build good stories; especially in a forum environment, where reader discussions & ideas (and votes, in RP threads) are major contributors to the authors' writing process.
Not to mention, while I understand the reasoning behind the necromancy rule, I feel like it also reduces the rate at which authors come back to old deadfics. (That's more of a pet peeve than a central flaw, though)
So there's definitely more active quality content on SV than there is on SB.
Here you go; post-canon Taylor in DanMachi with Hestia, with a lot of fluff. Argentorum has some other good Worm crossovers, as well.I think I need a link.
Thanks, that was a good binge. I enjoyed it. I dare say the fluff is the best part even.
It being the second Dan Machi crossover I've read, I have to say its now come to my attention that Hestia is the perfect person to help support the level of sheer broken that someone coming out the other end of the shit show that Worm is going to be.
I think its not too much of a stretch to say you practically require divine intervention to fix that level damage.

Uh, no. It's because the thread got rowdy, not because of power tripping. If you want that, the fact that we can no longer use a certain word here that relates to something a ninja, a guerrilla fighter, and an androgynous male all have in common, and can get banned for doing so, even if using it inoffensively, like quoting Admiral Ackbar, that's power tripping, as well as pandering to what might as well be a minority. Plus, they expect QMs here to moderate their own threads, instead of doing so whenever the report button is hit. Don't get me wrong, I love this site. I just don't think this site is any better than any other xen foro based site. Like QQ, for research purposes, as well as some stories that are pretty much SFW that the authors aren't comfortable putting on any other site, like Jack of Olives' Goddess in the Automata. I've checked both SV and SB for that one, but it's only on QQ. Probably because of the casual mention of robots having sex. (Scandalous!)
Edit: sorry Typo Ninja, quoted the wrong post accidentally.

Right, so I'll accept blame for contributing to the anti-other-site rhetoric, but this isn't the place for complaining about SV's perceived issues. In the interest of not continuing said argument, I'll simply say that I disagree with your assessments/claims regarding SV and ask that everyone please move on.
EDIT: Oh, not disagreeing with the reason for that lock, though, just the railing against SV. I haven't kept up with that thread.
EDIT 2: And that's not to say SV doesn't have any tyranny at all (GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU DID). Just, wee bit misaimed there I feel. ^^;

All I'll conclude with is that you should look for one of Dingbat....79...? I think those were thenumbers he used for his handle... Anyways look at his latest post on his random snippets thread. He explains why he no longer posts here. And as I said, I have nothing against either forum. I try to be within the rules on all of them. Though I did get warnings for necroing a thread, though only on QQ did my necro get a thread locked. On SB, it managed to get a chapter out of the OP.
Anyways, looking forward to the next chapter, whenever that may be. Until then, I'mma lurk.

You're mistaken about or leaving out important details on every point.
It is, in fact, only the use of the word "trap" to refer to people who are crossdressing and/or transgender that is banned. And yes, trans people are a minority group. Are you also upset that you'll be infracted for referring to a Chinese person as a chink while still being able to use it to refer to a flaw in a protection system?
Yeah, QMs have some responsibilities. It comes with the amount of authority they're given. A QM on SV is entirely within their rights to tell somebody to GTFO of their quest, with staff backing to include threadbans, for basically any reason including "their username has an E in it." Additionally, the staff do still deal with reports.
You seem to have missed the fact that there is erotica and other NSFW stuff posted on SV with the staff's blessing.
SV absolutely has its issues, but none of the things you mention are among them.

Never said this site ain't garbage, just that Sb is worse. They blocked nemesis thread for inactivity, and in the thread lock post the dude literally admitted it was still getting omakes. A mod posted a warning on Implacable like last week and less than a page later another mod came and threadlocked it. If that doesn't speak of pointless power using I dunno what does

Guys, seriously, wrong thread for discussing your gripes with the website and/or the administration of it. We all have them (I suspect the one I immediately think of is the same as Alivaril's), and you're free to share them. But a thread about the chaos that results from flinging a inhuman eldritch entity in a human body and a human mind that's becoming an eldritch entity into a city full of weird Adventurers and bored deities is not the place for this. If you want to continue commiserating/kvetching/arguing, make your own place for it by taking it to PMs/a Conversation (the slightly confusion inducing name of which is another thing you can complain about). That's the polite thing to do once the OP says "stahp".
Also, man, do I love making pithy summations of the basic premises of stories. On an unrelated note, I do have to wonder which other Gods are stuck in Heaven as "Essential" personnel like the Fates have been. And what sort of impact the Gods on Earth are having on their jobs. We know they do the whole "soul management" thing, but is that all they do? I don't recall if we've been given any more details than that, but that doesn't seem like an infinite workload to me.
...Actually, come to think of it, it's possible they send some Gods to Earth because that makes the workload lighter. Loki, for instance. Oh, she's extremely sharp and likely surprisingly good at management...when she isn't getting up to trouble.

I remember a quest where Hades came down and every God that saw him immediately looked up and said "Oh dear" or generally worrying about how heaven is managing without him.

Heeey that sounds suspiciously like how I read this site.

Now, see, from a mythological standpoint, Thanatos being on Earth should be more of problem. Hades just rules the underworld, while Thanatos is the personification of Death. In the original myths, Sisyphus chaining Thanatos up caused everyone on the planet to become unable to die, up until he was freed by Ares*. That's also highly Greco-centric. Freya and Odin have both descended to Earth, albeit maybe not at the same time, and both are in charge of an afterlife**.
---
*: Who was pissed because what's the point of war if no one dies?
**: Which is likely why Freya can see souls and collects talent: one of her roles in Norse myth is ruling the afterlife (Fólkvangr) where half the warriors who die in battle go, with the other half going to Valhalla to hang with Odin.

Pretty sure all the gods were pissed of at that.
And i suspect humans would started to get rather upset about that as well eventually when they just keep getting more and more decrepit but can't die.
Funny thing about Ares, he comes of as a pretty decent guy when it comes to myths (that are often filtered through Athens, who kinda hated Ares for being the patron of Sparta, so take that as you will), also something of a but monkey, but apart from the whole war is terrible thing (and, really, what did anyone expect from war), he generally does not come of as that bad.

Yeah, but they're in charge of it in the same way Hades is, not as psychopomps like Thanatos. Using your logic wouldn't it be the Valkyries that couldn't descend without messing up how people die?
Also Hel would be in the same category as Odin and Freya I think.

You're conflating two separate points for why being worried about Hades in specific is silly. First one's the Thanatos one (which, FYI, was a very specific "there's literally a myth where Thanatos being unable to his job=no death", not a general point about psychopomps), the second is that other lords of the underworlds/afterlives have come down, and no one freaked out about it.
Edit: Admittedly, Hades and Hel are synonymous with their underworlds, while Odin and Freya aren't and also have other aspects they're more known for, like Odin's role as the god of magic or war, and Freya's role as the goddess of beauty. And there's also the fact that, unlike Hades or Hel, Odin is known for wandering (a words that translates as "Wanderer" is literally one of his 170+ names), so him disappearing from Valhalla would probably be commonplace. Hades leaving his domain is somewhat less common.

Yeah when I read those that Hades in them It strains my SoD that Hades would Willingly go anywhere his wife couldn't go or he couldn't go see her.

Danmachi. Relationships between gods and real myth aren't always the same. It's more likely that he doesn't have a wife in danmachi.
Anyway, kinda confused as to why I was getting alerts here. Was there a new chapter or something or are people just randomly talking about gods of death?

Oh man, was that it? I looked at the original clue and I was like... "Terrorist? Ninjas kinda cause terror, guerrilla fighters kinda count as terrorists, random dude could be a terrorist..." Then I wondered if it was supposed to be a slur like "nigger" or something since if I squinted I could see ni from ninja and er from fighter. And random man kinda fits anywhere. But yeah, 'trap' makes much more sense.
To bring things back to somewhat on topic... Hestia bear companion when? Thought there was a plan to have all of QA's close ones with their own Friend reflecting their personality. I'm also hoping Dreamer eventually figures out an excuse to give Friends to all those she saved from Ishtar.
Taking a look at the most recent chapter (I had to check what was going on, it's been a while), I'm definitely looking forward to Dreamer's 'apology'.
