Kingdom and Castle are twins, broken out of a juvenile detention centre to join the Triple S bird division, a new branch of SATUrN going by the name WINGS (Winged Installment of Ninja Ground-to-air Soldiers).<br/>

All of the Triple S are unwanted, people who wont be missed for whatever reason. Because the government's new technology has allowed them to alter the teenage body, and give it the ability to shift shape. Obviously, this is highly controversial, so economic as ever, MI6 decide to combine 2 secrets - genetic engineering humans, and covert operations. No-one believes that the adorable stray cat was the assassin that did away with their drug-dealing uncle - or sold them out to the police.<br/>

Stories Featuring Synthetic Biology
























NaNoWriMo



National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.

As participants spend November writing, they can draw comfort from the fact that, all around the world, other National Novel Writing Month participants are going through the same joys and sorrows of producing the Great Frantic Novel. Wrimos meet throughout the month to offer encouragement, commiseration, and—when the thing is done—the kind of raucous celebrations that tend to frighten animals and small children.

In 2009, NaNoWriMo had 167,150 participants. 32,178 of them crossed the 50k finish line by the midnight deadline, entering into the annals of NaNoWriMo superstardom forever. They started the month as auto mechanics, out-of-work actors, and middle school English teachers. They walked away novelists.
