There are multiple simultaneous storylines running throughout, but the two it starts with are Beki's and Stacey's stories. 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.
