Inside Man
With his parole fast approaching, inmate Edward Masen is looking for a friend. College student Bella Swan stumbles across his profile on a prison pen-pal website. Their friendship is formed over written words, but will it last once he rejoins her world?
Inside Man was born in May 2011 from a combination of a trip to Seattle, an over enthusiastic Duck tour guide, and an honest to god Stephenie Meyer style dream. In my dream, Edward was seducing Bella on his first night out of prison. It was hot. Somehow I knew they had written while he was inside but didn’t otherwise know each other. When I woke up, the story played out in my head, and Prisonward was born (albeit slightly less badass than Dreamward).
Not to brag, but Inside Man has over 3.5 million views on FFn. #itstotesabrag #onehitwonder
Thank you for writing. I can’t begin to explain what it felt like to hear my name called today. Yours was the first letter I’ve received since posting the ad. Actually it’s the first personal letter I’ve received at all.
Inside Man was featured as a Fic of the Week at The Lemonade Stand. It also took 5th place in TwiFanfictionRec’s Top 10 Completed Fics of December 2012, and won both a 2012 Eclipse award for Best Edward and a 2011 Shimmer Award for Best New Story.
