I've read quite a number of stories concerning Edward during his rebellious years, and I must say very few of them come even close to holding a light to what you've done here.
The emotions are so beautifully put on paper, neither neglecting them, nor putting it so bluntly that the reader feels talked down to.
I must say I was shocked to see how few reviews this had. It's a shame not more people have found and read this, for it is truly a gem.
I loved the insight into the character you have.
That he did right from the start not ask for absolution.
The end was beautiful as well, although I couldn't help wishing there was more to read simply because I liked this so very much. I would have liked to read your take on his actual return home, but maybe some other time ;)
Seing that you didn't include that I thought the ending was perfect. It had the right amount of conclution of the old and opening for something new to it.
I definately got a new favourite today.
Author's Response: I am touched and flattered by your review. It is one of the best I have ever received. It makes me happy that you took the time to let me know what you liked about it, rather than simply saying "OMG" or "'Whoa" as many reviewers do.
What other "rebellion" stories have you read? I highly recommend "Midnight Terror" by Jessica, if you haven't already read it. Her story was the inspiration for mine. You might find it on Freedom Fanfiction Writers.com.
"Confession" ends the way I meant it to, and no sequel is planned.
If you'd like to take a look at some of the other things I've written, they're over at fanfiction.net under the same pen name. I'd welcome your input. Most are too short for Twilighted's requirements. I've ideas for longer stories, but am currently on a reading binge.
What have you written? What are your favorite stories? (I just finished "Wide Awake." "Emancipation Proclamation" and "The Lost Boys" are epic, and "The Fallout" deserves the fanfiction equivalent of a Hugo Award. I also love "The Cannabean Betrothal" and "A Rough Start." by ItzMegan73.
Please keep in touch!
