Welcome Blue_Monday and FaithfullyWaitN!
FaithfullyWaitN, I think you can just wait until you get the reply email for access. The Academy people do this in their free time, so you merely need a little patience. Please see the thread by Pandora’s Box on the Academy here .
Should you have further questions later on, you can send a private message to Pandora’s Box.
For questions or difficulties concerning the Forum and the Story Library, you can post your question, as you have done now, and someone-or-other from among the many members will probably respond, as I have done now.
Or you can send a private message to the Administrator of the site, Jinn. See the 'View Forum Leaders' page here .
Jinn is also the recipient of your notification if you report spam (advertisements).
Or report a post that is problematic (harassment, fighting, rude etc.).
You do this by clicking on the little red triangle in the top right corner of the post. It's only visible when you are logged in.
It opens a window where you can send a note to Jinn on why you find this post problematic.
Have fun, enjoy the Forums and the Academy.
I’m looking forward to see you around.
