Whateley Academy

<a href="http://whateleyacademy.net" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">The Crystal Hall</a>The Whateley Academy story Universe is a shared setting developed nearly twenty years ago on a near parallel Earth in which unknown forces had begun to spontaneously allow teens to manifest paranormal, superhuman abilities. While most mutations do not reach a degree similar to those appearing in comic books; they are sufficiently powerful enough to be dangerous in controlled young hands (or minds). Paranormals of other sorts exist in that world, but typically only adults wield those powers. To help guide these newly powerful youth, some of the most powerful heroes and villains have established a school where they can learn control in a (relatively) safe environment. The Whateley Academy is that place.The school is neutral, teaching skills and classes that will benefit both the law abiding... and those who choose otherwise. The students and their families are protected, off limits to those who would use them as pawns (or hostages). Considering that the Board of Trustees include some of the oldest and most powerful heroes AND villains the universe has seen... makes even the most powerful governments behave.More than twenty authors have added to the canon collection over the years since the first stories were released (in August of 2004) and many more have written both fan fiction and fully developed non-canon pieces.The canon storylines currently approach 15 million words. Non canon stories probably amount to another 7 or 8 million. While ALL the stories are freely available for reading, running the site to maintain the collection and support community forums has a price tag. Previously, we were able to sustain this through free hosting or using advertisements; but the community prefers and has supported a move away from those limitations.As long as our income is sustained high enough for basic features and server upgrades, we will avoid a return to advertisements. With sufficient support, we will move towards additional site growth options (marketing and site redesign to support higher traffic and mobile access), as well as compensating the administrator for the time to maintain and develop such things.&nbsp; If patronage is really supportive, we'll do what we can to reward the authors for their work, hire professional editors, and so forth. Just be aware that at this moment, patronage here is for the site and support structure and NOT the stories and authors. You get those for free.

Free

(all site content is available without donation / cost - however, site operation costs need support. please donate if you are capable)

Dan promises not to rampage in your home city.

We'll talk Domoviye into creating a character that he doesn't torture. Much. (it's all relative, right?)

Three (or more) authors will write a set of vignettes either about a character you concept (non-canon)... OR will cameo your character in their next canon piece (thus making your character canon - note: if your concept isn't within the canon specs, we will adapt it to be as close as possible to your idea within the universe guidelines... if you don't want any changes made to your concept, select option A).
