Sanctioned, by Chrys Kelly, is a Web Serial Novel with six main POV characters, set in an independent Scotland that the government insists is a utopia, free of crime, poverty, homelessness, and bigotry.Five of these characters; Ashleigh, Rebecca, Stacey, Zaheera, and Mary Joy, have just finished mandatory government-overseen training to unlock and control their superpowers. The sixth character, Lexie, starts the story on the run from the English Authority.There are multiple simultaneous storylines running throughout, but the two it starts with are Beki's and Stacey's stories.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Beki was declared a dud by the Scottish government – meaning she had the potential for superpowers but never developed them. When her best friend, Ashleigh, kisses her, and her strict religious background causes her mind to revolt, her superpower is unlocked and she changes gender with no idea of how to change back.Meanwhile, Stacey is determined to find out the truth behind the death of Glorious, Scotland's most famous superhero. Why are the government, police and media conspiring to cover up the truth?There's a strong LGBTQA+ theme to the work: Ashleigh is gay, Stacey is bisexual, and it's anyone's guess what gender and sexuality Beki will be when she sorts herself out.Sanctioned launched in June 2016, and updates regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Dystopia: England is presented as a right-wing dystopia where super-powered people are enslaved by the state. Oh, and there's zombies.

False Utopia: It's said to be set in a utopia, without crime, poverty, or homelessness, but there's already evidence it isn't perfect. Ashleigh suspects there's no homelessness because the homeless were dragged off in unmarked vans.
