<p><i>30 years ago brought the first superhumans, regular people given great power seemingly at random.</i></p> <p><i>15 years ago brought the paranormals, stranger and often weaker in their abilities, but far more numerous.</i></p> <p><i>Today, the world holds its breath . . .</i></p> <p>Or at least, it should.</p> <p>Most people, though, are just trying to get on with their lives; some successfully, some less so. It's a sensible goal, but it can be hard when shadowy conspiracies and worldwide N.G.O.s are turning your city into a proxy battleground over world-shattering secrets. It's bad enough when you've just woken up with superpowers and terrorists are holding your school hostage. It's even worse if you're an illegal vigilante stuck in the middle of the whole Charlie Foxtrot after a supervillain raid drops vital information in your lap.</p> <p>For Hannah Eiling-Kingsford and Flint Perez, life is about to get a lot harder to get on with.</p> <p>—–</p> <p>Outliers is a superhero story. Okay, so not so much superhero as vaguely superhero-ish. It's about two teenagers dealing with, among other things, new powers, psycho exes, mysterious datapads and a giant, secret war between the foremost powers-that-be, over information that could forever change the world.</p> <p>Again.</p> <p>You know, normal teenage stuff.</p> <p>Outliers contains some foul language and mild sexual references. It updates twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, at <a href="http://outlierswebserial.blogspot.com.au/">its own website</a>. The current plan is to update once a day until the ~100 posts already written are here, then updates a day after they go up on the site.</p> <p>If you enjoy the story, please consider writing a review, either here or on <a href="http://webfictionguide.com/listings/outliers/">WebFictionGuide</a>, or just drop a vote for it on <a href="http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=outliers">Topwebfiction</a>.
