‎‧₊˚✧ Introduction ✧˚₊‧

Welcome to THE ENHANCED, a personal writing project that is a rewrite of a very, very old story I was working on a long time ago. I will probably never officially publish this, but I still wanted to get it out to the world somehow, so this blog came to be.

(The plot is really old so expect some cliches T-T)

I will be posting chapters (probably in parts) for your enjoyment. I do not have a definite release schedule yet, as I have to actually write it out first, but I will keep you guys updated as much as possible.

My plan right now is to write all of act 1 before I start posting so I can keep a semi-consistent schedule of publication, but that's open to change.

‎‧₊˚✧ About The Author ✧˚₊‧

Hiya!!! I'm Will, a queer, disabled teen author of (mostly) queer disabled characters :) I like to write what I know/can relate to.

You can find my main blog, where I post about the projects I actually plan on publishing, at @write-with-will !

I'm a minor (high school), so be safe when interacting with this blog and my main. I have no qualms against older people following along with this story though, especially since the characters are older. Just don't interact with me in ways a child shouldn't be interacted with and all will be well :).

Now that all that is out of the way, onto the story!!!

‎‧₊˚✧ Basic Info ✧˚₊‧

Status - writing!!!

POV - 3rd person

Tense - past

Genre - superhero fiction, urban fantasy

Tropes - found family, team as family, superheroes, superpowers, whump

Other - lgbt rep, poc rep, disability rep (all main characters)

Content warnings - this story includes references to past child abuse, alcohol (the main character works as a bartender), injuries that aren't in a ton of detail, death, past trauma, discrimination, violence, action, and lots and lots of angst

Themes - death, healing, family, platonic relationships, betrayal

‎‧₊˚✧ Synopsis ✧˚₊‧

Anya really, really hates lying to people. Which is weird, considering that when she's not suffering through getting a criminology degree, she has a part time job at the Pacific Northwest chapter of ERGO--an organization that protects and monitors people who were born....different.

The enhanced, they were dubbed, the handful of kids who were born around the world with any kind of 'enhancement'--from being exceptionally strong or fast to having wings. And just like anything new... it wasn't taken very well by the general population.

Anya's newest project should be fairly simple: check out college student Charlie, who they suspect to be enhanced, and to have some unfortunate connections that could be invaluable in the fight for acceptance and safety.

Robyn!! Community, 7, 15 and 17 i think

7 - Who is your character most honest with?

Definitely Charlie. She's his best friend in the world, and the only person (right now) that knows he's enhanced ('cause she is too, obviously lol). They've been through a lot and both really hate secrets, so they're really honest with each other

15 - Is there a person your character would turn to for backup in a fight?

Ok I gotta be careful with how I answer this bc spoilers. For a while, it's Charlie and Charlie only, but after UNKNOWN SPOILER THING THATS NOT RLY A SPOILER YET I AM OMMITTING IT ANYHOW happens, he also is able to turn to Adam for backup :3

17 - How well does your character work with others?

Really well! He's super sociable and enjoys talking to people! He's a lot less paranoid and closed off then Charlie :)

I like to have multiple projects running at the same time !!! Whenever I get stuck on one, hop over to the other and keep going!!!!! It helps keep the brain juices flowing and stops me from getting tired of a story!! :3

As you're writing what you've stated is a very old story, has a lot changed since you began it? If so, what's the biggest thing?

Heya!!!!

Not a lot has changed to be perfectly honest, the plot is still mostly the same, and the characters have only been expanded upon!

I guess some of the larger changes have been to the story from a conflict standpoint. When I was a kid I was a more novice writer with no concept for what made a good, compelling story. There was literally no overarching conflict lol

But now there are MULTIPLE conflicts external and internal (some I cannot disclose for spoiler reasons) that compile onto each other for a fun story!!!!!!!

I’ve also added some characters! For example Adam and Robyn used to be love interests.. and now Adam has a wonderful gf Kyra and Robyn is aroace!

Hi!! You made a poll about posting chapter by chapter, and there's an author whose work I really love that has some advice here on tumblr abt keeping a schedule and stuff like that, I was wondering if that could be useful for you? Like I could tag you in those posts if that's alright!

Presenting: Charlie!

@write-with-will OC from @the-enhanced-project !!

It was an honour to draw another of your OC's!!

Since today is Mother’s Day, here’s a snippet from chapter three !!!!!!

She remembered when she was younger, a scared teenager who’d been ripped away from everything she’d ever known, and placed with a bunch of strangers. When she had nightmares, her mom—well, foster mom at that time—would make her a mug of warm hot chocolate and sit with her until she felt better. The only sound would be the woman’s humming and the occasional sniffle of a very confused twelve year old who had no idea what was going to come of her.

It was funny, the fact that she now recalled those as fond memories, considered those ‘strangers’ family more so then even the one she’d lost.

Tag list!!!! Ask to be added!
