In an era where new machinery has brought stability, peculiarities are a direct attack against a secure way of life. These peculiarities often come in the form of people with supernatural abilities. Terrified of ostracization, they are forced into a life of suppression and normalcy. To make matters worse, groups of mech enhanced hunters are dedicated to capturing Peculiars and ridding them from the world. 

Winnifred Graham is a Peculiar with a control over gravity. After years of being doomed to the earth, she longs for freedom. Her opportunity comes in the form of Edgar Strange, a man who is fascinated by Peculiars and seeks to rescue them from their hateful society.

Winnifred and Strange embark on a journey across the world to find other Peculiars and take them to a place of acceptance. With hunters on their trail, fearful villages, and a mysterious man hot on their heels, they can't afford to let their guard down. However, even in the midst of chaos, Winnifred and Strange's growing ragtag bunch of Peculiars make time for a few small adventures along the way.

*Wattys Winner 2022* Charles Abbot is finally living the life he has always dreamed of. At only 25, he has managed to turn his unique magical ability of copying memories into a profitable business. However, his comfortable life is shattered when he is tricked by a thief into extracting a dangerous memory. Not only does it reveal that there's a cult murdering children in their city, but by possessing this memory, Charles' life--and the lives of everyone close to him--are now in danger. Recruiting the help of a gay potion-maker and a ten-year-old lightning-wielding prodigy, Charles must now find that thief and try to put an end to this cult's workings. But it won't be easy.

51 parts Complete
Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

I HIDE, SO I CAN BE MYSELF Why ask yourself, why, and just worry about keeping up in motion? Every person is special, especially Jess. For Jess, that's difficult because he's been neglected by almost everyone and doesn't even realize it. He's special because he is an Innate, a person who possesses incredible abilities. But he doesn't know it. But not until he meets fellow Innates, Jackson, Ace, Robert, Sarra, Zach and Alice. WE LIVE AMONG YOU. WE ARE NOT NORMAL. WE ARE DIFFERENT. WE ARE CALLED, INNATES. What if there was a secluded academy for Innates residing at an oblivious area of the solar system? What if Jess completely changes himself for good? What if things go horribly wrong after one's arrival? Inspired by: X-Men, Tomorrowland, Divergent, Kick-Ass, Big Hero 6, Push, Kingsman, and Legend.
