I first discovered Whateley Academy about a year ago thanks to Jade's entry on TVTropes' Mundane Utility page. (She's since become my favourite Kimbette.) I held off on creating an account mostly due to the request for a real name and also because this isn't something I'd want my parents to know about. I decided to finally create an account due to a few fan-fic ideas I've had.
The request for real names is just part of the stock Joomla registration. We don't actually care if you have a real name there... many of the authors come from a TG Fiction background, but the Whateley Academy stories (while clearly still heavily transformation/TG oriented) do have plenty of mainstream appeal. So we understand the need for feeling you need to keep your reading habits hidden from family/friends who aren't understanding. Especially in the current political climate.
The only thing we DO care about is that you don't use a throw away email that closes in a day or two because system errors and password changes and that sort of thing DO require a functional email, otherwise they bounce and that hurts our mailing system rep (which means that email software is more likely to treat us as junk mail). Also, enough bounces and such and we could lose our free mailing... which is not a trivial factor.
Ah... sorry, Warren usually gets those much faster but... uh... I accidentally locked him out of the admin side of the site while dealing with the recent patch problems. So, totally my fault there.I wasn't expecting the waiting to be approved part, but it makes sense that you wouldn't want to be spammed. The few days waiting for approval was very suspenseful and felt more like a week than 3 days.
Fate guard you and grant you a Light to brighten your Way.

Whateley was pretty much my introduction to TG fiction and I've started reading several transformation webcomics like El Goonish Shive and The Wotch because of it. It has certainly been an adventure and has made me question my own identity, though even before reading I wouldn't have considered myself very masculine anyways.

Don't worry. I used my main email. I'd like to respond to replies without constantly checking the thread.

Lol, oops. It wasn't too bad and got resolved quickly enough.
Insanity: for when normal just isn't interesting enough.
All ideas free to use. You can probably make better use of them than me.

Sorry, you lost any claim to surprise at that when you said Jade was your favorite.

But but. I thought you liked the tasers. You always seemed to be having fun with them. Though you really should stop stuffing them down your pants. No one wants to touch hem after that. And they are so hard to get clean.
Huh? I don't stuff Taser's down my pants. That just don't bother me. Too much insulation. Stop trying to shift blame for making the tasers too disgusting to touch to other people.
Well at least you didn't call yourself Taserpants.
Which is almost as terrifying to opponents as the name Taserface!
