SUMMARY
An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local 'cape' scene's politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. As she risks life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons.
The story, titled Worm, takes the form of a web serial, posted in bite-sized reads in much the same way that authors such as Mark Twain would release their works one chapter at a time in the days before full-fledged novels. Worm started in June 2011, updating twice a week, and finished in late November, 2013. It totals roughly 1,680,000 words; roughly 26 typical novels in length (or 10-11 very thick novels). The story updated on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with bonus chapters appearing on the occasional Thursday, as explained below.

"Come on Bri! The early bird gets the worm." "Well the early bird can have the worm because worms are gross and mornings are stupid," I grumbled. 16 year old Briana Winter has found herself in a pretty good mess with her new ability to burst into flames. By escaping the prison she was in, she meets this boy with abilities like her own, but that just makes them a bigger target. There are some people who don't like their magic in the world, and will do anything to keep the kids from using it, like possibly taking Briana's best friend. They have to make what would seem an impossible journey to us, to stop the people fighting against them. Along the way, with the help of a little companion, they realize that their powers don't make them monsters, but rather make them extraordinary.Complete
Deception | Alias Duology
Ever since Denizen gave up being a villain and agreed to go through the villain rehabilitation center, life's been a whole lot less stressful. While it's still filled with relationship complications with his friends, Edison and David, Denizen can start to forge a future that makes up for all the memories he's lost. But when Deception-his apparently ex-girlfriend with the power to make anyone believe what she says-kidnaps him, everything he knows for sure is thrown out the window. She tells him a very different story than he's come to know, one where they were a disillusioned, struggling young couple with a dream of a world that's not separated by rich and poor, hero and villain, useful and useless. Is Deception friend or foe? Is her story true? As Denizen balances the careful act of compliant prisoner and wayward accomplice while searching for an escape, the lines between hero and villain blur and he is thrown into the struggle to keep himself straight in this world of increasingly expanding shades of grey.

Where Has the Villainess Gone?
Have you ever wondered about the real villainess---the one whose body the heroine steals? Where does her soul go? Is she still alive, watching helplessly as someone else lives her life? Or does she simply vanish, forgotten by the story itself? Most never ask. Most never care. But this time, the forgotten villainess doesn't disappear. Her soul awakens... inside the body of the girl who stole hers. [Host's vessel, good luck with your new life. Don't corrupt the former body of my host.] "I am #179, an Advanced Human Artificial Intelligence Assistant." "Is that really a saint power?" "You talk big for a blind girl." "Stop! You're only making it worse!" "She doesn't love me... but I love her." "Are you telling me that blind girl killed Grandpa?" "Why don't you trust me?" "Don't be fooled. Some aliens can copy your appearance." As her journey continues in a new body, in a new life, she doesn't realize how far she's gone--- until there's no way to go back.

Prototype Dorian
Young cadet Lara Lorensky has one goal: to win the Selection, the only way people on Earth can ascend to NovaTopia, a utopia-like space shuttle orbiting the planet. Unfortunately, her longtime rival, Morgan Sánchez, also has the same goal--and their almost undefeated record in practices is Lara's biggest obstacle to victory. When an unexpected terrorist attack destroys Morgan's cyber arm, Lara's chances to win are significantly increased. But... what is the point of winning if her rival is not in their top condition? Plagued by guilt and a feeling she does not quite understand yet, Lara decides to help Morgan find a cyberlimb mechanic. As she ventures outside her sheltered bubble, Lara realizes that everything she was taught was a lie, including her identity. Perhaps the utopia she was fighting for all her life was also an illusion. Together, Lara and Morgan have a new goal: to find out the truth of Lara's identity--and the truth behind NovaTopia. {Part I COMPLETED!
