Oh my God. Either you are psycic or you are merely a good writer. Last chapter I was about to ask what happened to Charlie. I've been following this storie from the begining and I must say that you have a talent for writing. There is just enough edge to this, as well as mental screwery that it is a good read without being overly disturbing. That is very difficult to do, so kudos! I can't wait for your next chapter.

Uprising by allforkedup Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 424]
Summary:

Kidnapped into slavery, Edward tries his best to work diligently in order to avoid punishment and keep his wife safe.  Nothing about his life is his own, not even the intimacy between him and his Bella... and she, too, could be taken away at any time.  What happens when he has no choice but to make a big 'mistake'?  What will the punishment be?  Will it break him?  Inspired by the song 'Uprising' by Muse (which I think has a stupid video).

Contains adult situations and language; please do not read if you are under 18.

I can't help it. I have to say that I cried during this chapter. Finally everything seems to be going right. I have read this from the beginning not too long ago and stumbled on to it by chance; I'm glad I did. You hit each key perfectly within this written world and you know how to touch your readers. Please continue writing this as I cannot wait for the next chapter and I also wish you luck with your company.



Author's Response:

Ah, the company.  I need all the luck I can get there... it's my parents, God help me.

A good story. An interesting switch from your other works. However, the three shot has me sitting here in question. Usually you are good at tying up everything and not leaving the reader with Serious questions to be answered. In this case, I feel like there are many. That can be a good thing, as it means there was alot implied, but it also can be a bad thing because it makes the story feel incomplete.

Short fiction is my area of concentration in writing; typically it looks at a single change (or degree of change) within a character. The idea that something happens which causes them to move from their normal way of living or feeling. It usually is small-ish.

For example, a woman decides she wants to go for a high end job. She seems skittish. A short story unfortunately doesn't have the space to allow her to become a rockin' CEO like a novel would. The short story may end up with her not getting the job, but feelling a little bit better because she tried. Or it may end up with her deciding that the job isn't for her and she wants one a little more low key.

What makes this story feel incomplete is the fact that it seems to focus on Bella's change from being upset with going public, to.....????? I'm not sure. She seems to still dispise the idea which means that she has not experienced a change. Is she a little more okay with it? If so, maybe try to bring it out clearer.  If the focus was ment to be on Edward, its not clear that he has changed position either.

The Change from a Situation, the Revelation of a Mystery, and the Resolution of Tension each drive short stories (and chapters of a book). For this one, try focussing a bit more either on the Resolution of tension between Edward/Bella or  the Change within one of them which occurs. It will give your story a more complete feeling at the end if there is one major issue resolved.

As always, these are just suggestions based off my take. I wish you luck with your further writing my dear. I'm sure it will be fabulous as always.

Darlin' I gotta say that I love the majority of your stories. But there is something about this one which keeps setting me back. I think its the fact that I feel like everything is happening so fast with so little information presented. Like the fact that the statutory rape charges are brought up one chapter and resolved the next... Edward is in a tight position for a few chapters with Tanya, but... IDK it seems like with everything riding on it, that there would be more time devoted to the situation. You do a very good job with the characters, but I think it might be good to spend some background time too and develop the scene around them.

Keep going cause its always a pleasure to read. Luck!
