writing Story I'm Working on (eh, why not?)

[Carolina 212]

So, I'm currently working on a (longish) short story and thought I would post it here to get people's opinions. As I discuss on my profile page, I have this idea for a TV series and this story is from that universe, using it's characters...Originally, I had planned a novel revolving around the characters, but I thought a series would be more interesting.

 

Anyway, quick background:

 

It's about female super heroes called Konoiche (basically the Americanized version of "kunoichi" meaning "dangerous flowers") The original six use the names of the states they are from as codenames, but their daughters (the second generation) are named actually after states (or corruptions there of) as their actual names (so, you know, Virginia, Georgia, etc)...

 

It takes place in the very near future in a world that is pretty much exactly like ours. People with powers are called "Magepaths" and abilities come from slightly different brain chemistry, so it's pretty common. People without powers are called "neurotypical".

 

Anyway, so in case anyone asks, the main character (of the story - the whole series doesn't have one protag) is not a self insert. It's entirely coincidental that her name is similar to my screenname on this site (which is not my name IRL btw, if anyone was wondering). That's not to say I don't relate to her from time to time, though.

 

So, warnings: drugs, swearing, under-aged drinking, lesbians and some violence. So, if any of that bugs ya', don't read...

I'd like to have a read, quid pro quo... Sadly, I don't really have the time or, frankly, interest in this one.

 

I do have to comment though - were you aware that "neurotypical" is what many people with Asperger's syndrome call non-autistic people? Just struck me as a bit funny.
