My sons were also homeschooled and involved in concurrent enrollment. My youngest son took the ACT, scoring very high on the English/writing portion. He then took Comp 1 and Comp 2 at a community college. When he completed highschool, he enrolled in a four year Christian university. Here's the kicker. The school he chose gave credit for Comp 1, based on that section of his ACT score. They then listed the Comp 1 class he had taken at the community college as an elective. So, it might be worth checking with the university you plan on attending to see how they would deal with you taking the class in addition to your score. On the other hand, it sounds like you could easily test out of Comp 1.
Another option is to take the writing and lit classes you want to take through independent study. They wouldn't be free like at the community college you're talking about but you could take the classes you want, online and self paced. That way you could bypass the Comp 1 issue.
BYU offers several English and Lit classes. I know for a fact their classes are high quality. It's an RA school so transferring in the hours shouldn't be an issue.
