Revision as of 03:12, 13 August 2016
Team Kimba by DPRagan
Welcome to The Whateley Academy Wiki
The Whateley Academy Wiki is a resource for the community of the Whateley Academy Universe, an online original Web Novel Shared Universe about the fictional Whateley Academy, a school for Mutants nestled in scenic Dunwich, New Hampshire.
New to Whateley Academy?
Lions, Tigers, and Bears... oh, wrong story there. Those things wouldn't go near Whateley Academy if they were wise. Whateley is a Prep School for different teens. VERY different ones. Where else could a kid go to a school that has a resident demon living in the furnace? Or meet magic users, mutants of every imaginable kind, get trained in how to handle some rather odd abilities, and worry about flunking Freshman English? Come visit Whateley Academy, nestled in the lovely hills of New Hampshire. Just down the road from a town named Dunwich... (Mythos jokes purely intentional).
This is the Whateley Academy Universe, a shared universe with over thirty authors and more than two hundred stories (and counting). The stories range in size from vignettes to novels. It's a Mutant High scenario with both a strong transgender theme and a slightly watered down Cthulhu Mythos theme. It's also very much a work in progress.
So jump right in and start reading some of the stories. If you want to take it in order with as few spoilers as possible, the Lists of Canon Stories contain recommendations for reading order. The stories are available at the new official site. As of November 2015, new stories / chapters are typically released Monday night (depending on what's in the queue and how long it takes to convert the files to well-formed HTML).
If you want to discuss things with the fans (and occasionally the authors), feel free to visit the Forums.
If for some reason you can't reach either the stories page or the forums, check the Whateley Status page to see if there's a site outage.
If you want to help edit this wiki, please visit the Editing Guidelines page. If you're having trouble navigating, you can either use the category browser, or there's now a handy Table of Contents.

Historical Notes
This Wiki was created on March 22, 2010, as much of the material from the previous wiki was migrated here before it died, and unsurprisingly lots of new content has been added since.
Between October 2011 and February 2012, and again during early 2014, the official site encountered technical problems which prohibited file uploads. During these periods, stories were released in the Author's Corner section of the old Forums (currently offline) (typically in smaller chunks as forums aren't designed to cope with 20,000 word posts!). These have since been re-uploaded to the main site, with the only indication being a list of release dates in the List of Canon Stories.
A major hack of the Crystal Hall site took place in late September / early October 2015, which caused the forums to go down. As a result of this (and earlier outages), Kristin Darken registered and created a new site at whateleyacademy.net and the stories have been migrated over.
The old site was again hacked and used for 'phishing' exploits and as of February 7, 2016 shut down permanently and the old site is no longer accessible. All canon stories and Library stories are now availible through the whateleyacademy.net site.
(For those interested in the technical side of things, the new site is built with Joomla! CMS, together with Kunena Forums.)
See the discussion page for more details of the old site's problems.
