| Wonder City Stories | comment |
Wonder City Stories is a Super Hero themed Web Serial Novel focused on a Ensemble Cast of more than normal characters within Wonder City.The story explores the lives of the residents of Wonder City with a particular focus on gender, race and sexuality issues. It lies somewhere between a deconstruction and a reconstruction. This is a universe where a middle-aged black woman is the Superman Expy and a homeless elderly veteran is the Captain America Expy. Where superpowers are just another complicating factor in your life. Where there are no comic book death second chances. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless | |
| Wonder City Stories / int_8b221a63 | comment |
Reed Richards Is Useless - The Paranormal Invention Control Act means super tech cannot be sold to the public unless the government is satisfied that it cannot in any way be weaponized. Since this is just about impossible super tech stays in the hands of inventors and their close associates. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Wonder City Stories / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different - Some Wonder City vampires take after the Dracula mode, meaning sunlight doesn't burn them. This can lead to some confusion when interacting with less classically read humans. One, Zoltan, keeps a tube of glitter around to help convince young women. | |
