Once upon a time there was a genre of fiction called "epistolary novel". The plot was developed (snail) mail by mail, allowing the required time to send the letter and get the answer.
Nowadays, how many snail mails does anyone write and receive and how many e-mails?
The famous movie "You've got mail" already showed that emails and love stories could be a winning combination.
If you want to see how this idea could be explored in a fanfiction, go and read
Summary: ""Error 434: Reprimanding an executive." Life changing or just stupid? Dear Mr. Masen: A story of unauthorized Internet usage, culinary delights and the goings-on at Cullen, Inc. AH, ExB".
Don't miss it because...
this story is really funny. I usually look for more angst than humor in a fanfic, but sometimes everyone needs a break. With a brilliant style, this fanfic deals with office gossip, unsuccessful dates, pros and cons of living in a big city, culinary taste and much, much more. The email format, at least in the first chapters, makes it also very fast to read, although sometimes it happened to me to get a bit lost following Edward and Bella's ramblings. So far, at the end of their chapters these good writers always surprised me, making me looking forward to their next update.
If you read this fanfic, please don't forget to tell that "Raum sent you" and say "Ciao!" to the authors from me! Thanks ;-)
