Faultless Zero is about some long-lost twins who find each other, accidentally take over a nation, cope with interdimensional collapse, and eventually separate because no one knows where home is and there is a severe lack of maps.

What makes someone fit this description?
Biology :D

Less fliply, everyone in this world has magic. Different people are attuned to different types of magic. And regularly casting the wrong magic for your body can lead to some horrible, occasionally explosive consequences for that person and anyone near them.

MC wants to be a battle mage and get her butt-kick on, but unfortunately tests show she's one of the rare few (about 1 every 180-200 years) who's got to be a necromancer. This raises all kinds of problems, like the lack of qualified necromantic teachers, how gross dead things are, and the whole "everything necromancers do is pretty well illegal" aspect.

This sounds like something I'd totally read, but 'Iron Age' is a bit vague. The iron age lasted centuries and spanned continents. What's your setting? :)

Well, it's an "alternate universe" sort of fantasy, not one set in a specific Earth time and place. The culture is somewhat reminiscent of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the pre-Christian era, but not a complete copy of them.

Alright, I'm convinced. I'm interested to know more.

I'm a time/space nut, so even if this sounds a little romance-lined, I would likely read this. Or recommend it to my wife, who reads such stories and filters out the girly parts for me. lol

Grimironie VonFarmer seeks the giant albino chicken that allegedly killed her grandfather in the cornfields of Iowa.

I live in Iowa. You will never find that chicken. She's ours.

Burlesque in space after Stephen King steps on it.

I... Umm... uhhh... No. Just no. lol Not only am I disturbed by the random imagery this created, I'm further disturbed because I believe my father would LOVE this story idea. *sigh* :Headbang:

I really like this one and it intrigues me which means its a better one liner than I could put together but even more, sounds like you have something there.

The powers that you sold your soul to the devil for can still be used for the good of humanity.
