BOOK 1 // Human Error (COMPLETE) BOOK 2 // Human Instinct (IN PROGRESS) *NOW OPTIONED FOR A TV SHOW* "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness engineered right into their DNA." - William Shakespeare, 1602 (adapted for BioPlus) Astrid Oxford is not normal. Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis. The alteration of human DNA has been illegal since the technology was developed, but in the heart of New London, a sinister trend has emerged among society's elite. Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence. When a freak suicide forces modification into the public eye, eighteen-year-old Astrid is about to learn how difficult it is to stay under the radar when you really were born to stand out.

Alright, friends, disclaimer: I wrote this when I was twelve (TWELVE) and just finding out what being genderfluid meant. This story contains a lot of inaccuracies, and is honestly just kind of cringy to look back on, but so many people seemed to enjoy it, so I'm keeping it up. I apologize for the incorrect facts and plot holes and anything else in this story (again, I was 12.) Thank you all for the immense support! SUMMARY: Anna is genderfluid. Meaning she is a girl at some times and a guy at others. While dealing with keeping his secret, he meets Taylor, the new girl at school. Taylor asks him out, and they go to the school dance. But when his mother figures out that he's genderfluid, things go sour. Really, really quickly. (Awesome cover by @AspiringFlyer!)
