Take a shot every time I say Unfortunate Implications. It's written at about a just above fanfic level which does make some sense considering it began as round robin rp (let's describe every single action in a day), although some writers are very good. Pacing is atrocious; I read for almost 12 hours straight through tons and tons of backstory and I'm officially on day 2. I jumped around to some of the later chapters, it improves but not much. Team Kimba; all are God Mode SueSelf Inserts. The Unfortunate Implications are dripping on this one, with more every time I think about it. Self inserts (bland middle children who can't do anything right) who turn into beautiful underaged women with super powers and put up more fuss about their powers. On the super power side, the universe itself is pretty solid. There's a nice mechanic in that Whateley is completely neutral, and the powers themselves are explained and run a nice gamut. However and this needs to be reiterated, the blatant MTF fetishism is astonishing. Seriously, the stories are borderline insults to actual trans people and the LGBT community at large; some of the better written characters (Jade and Ayla) are not and the issue is handled somewhat better. Still, the term shemale was a "scientific" term in Ayla's story; Unfortunate Implications. Many of the gay freshmen are apparently so thrilled to meet other gay people that the first night is practically a giant orgy; Unfortunate Implications. Gays are so hated that it's easier for them to hide; Unfortunate Implications. I'd like to think that people aren't that awful; and even being born and raised in the South, being bisexual and knowing quite a few gays, I can honestly say I've never seen an instance of gay bullying. And it certainly doesn't make any sense to have dozens of people lying to the world when on a good day Team Sue can basically take out half the school. All in all, it had enormous potential, and I was certainly curious after seeing so many entries on this site, but ultimately it fell very far flat and basically is soft core porn in some cases and hackneyed cliche writing in others, with broken characters and a setting so ripe with Unfortunate Implications that it might very well have collapsed into a singularity beyond which no further scrutiny of the setting can be done without Unfortunate Implications
Let's be blunt
