50 Shades of Grey.

[Niall!]

Warren's right, it was a fanfiction (originally posted on fanfiction.net, removed as it got too dirty) but it became very very popular very quickly! When it got removed, a publisher contacted her. As it got published she changed the names (to not breach copyright) but they're exactly the same character profiles, but with different names. Bit of a skem...

Huh, that explains a lot actually. This generation is ******.

Won't be finishing this book, seems like 50 Shades of ******* ****, 500 boring pages

I read the original on fanfiction.net !!!!!! It was awful, but it was 2am, I didn't want to go to sleep and there was no one around to talk to. I got sent it by a friend, by the way, I would never search Twilight fanfic ;s

Yeah, I couldn't finish it because I found it literally unreadable!!!!!

Just realised.. I was listening to somebody on YouTube talking about it a couple of days ago and he was just talking about how if Stephenie Meyer loved these books so much, she could write a fanfic of 50 Shades of Grey and then we would be stuck in this vicious cycle of badly-written and terrible books while the two authors (if you can really call them that, lol) live off of each other!!

I've read the first book and I loved it, just saying

Probably because you don't know anything about how sex really works

im onto the 3rd one, think it's pretty good tbh

Don't know which is most annoying;
- People using the book to "spice up" their relationships; I guess it's each to their own but I'm pretty sure a soft porn book isn't going to sort out your relationship problems long term.
- A clothing line for men inspired by one of the characters; I could understand a range inspired by a REAL person, but this is just silly.

[Inseriousity.]

I'm not really bothered about badly written fiction if the story/characters are good but "romance" as the main plot never really appeals to me. Add controlling man/submissive woman into it and no, thank you, I'll pass.

Yeah okay then :L

I was told this book isn't as saucy as it's hyped up to be? Not that I really care, never interested me but then I didn't really think it was intended for people like me.
