Huh.

According to Buzzfeed, it would seem that 'Grey' is basically just PWP...

I Read The New “Fifty Shades” Book, And It Is Absolutely Batshit (NSFW!!!)

So basically, "my cock agrees" is the male equivalent of "my inner goddess is doing cartwheels"?

Fifty Shades of Grey: The lovely story of two people with dissociative identity disorder.

Is that email bit for real? I have the urge to go all SHOUTY CAPITALS IN DISBELIEF.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I have read too much sub-standard fanfic because there was nothing there I haven't read before.

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

OMG X_X;

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Lesson: it pays to know people in publishing. Esp if you suck.

[promethia_tenk]

True story: I'm in my office today, and one of the managers at work started reading sections of this in the other room. Another manager was shrieking and protesting so hard about it that at first I assumed he'd found her fanfic stash and was reading it to everyone before I realized no . . . they've just got their hands on the new Gray book.

I was a bit disappointed, ngl.

Does James have publishing connections?

"It Is Absolutley Batshit"

Which surprises exactly no one.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

It took me a whole few minutes there to figure out you weren't talking about Marsters. And yes, she does.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Same, tbh.

[lynnenne]

LOL! I almost edited this comment after I posted it, but then I thought, "Nah, let's see if her brain goes there." And it did.

OMG...

Please tell me this is a joke. I'm laughing like it is, but I have a funny feeling (pun not intended) that it is not...

O_O

*snerk*

You might be reading more into it than there is...

[elisi]

As far as I know, yes.

But remember, it's basically just smutty fic that was published.

[elisi]

This.

I could easily insert Buffy & Spike into it. But then it IS fic. It just got published. ;)

[elisi]

And it'll sell like hotcakes, because people don't know they can get it online for free... (And better quality.)

[elisi]

Very true. Although good for her - no one else has thought of getting their smutty fic published, and there's clearly a market.

[elisi]

LOL!

*keeps own smut safely flocked*

[elisi]

Also why it's popular. Smut + crack = money

(Kinda wish I'd thought of it. Except I don't think I could live with having written THAT.)

[elisi]

It's exactly what it says on the tin: pr0n.

That you can buy in a shop. :)

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Oh totally good for her. It just makes me sad that women are so desperate for porn written for them that they think this is all there is.

[elisi]

Very true. :(

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

*simply can't get over the extracts*

Dear god. Fanfiction quality porn all. The. Bloody. Way.

[elisi]

And she's making a fortune out of it...

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Actually, it started as All-Human AU Twilight fanfic.

I am not kidding.

If you had the original ff.net URL, you could find it via the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive. You might still be able to.

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Uh, it marked my comment as spam. So, um, let's just say it was fanfic, posted online, for awhile.

[promethia_tenk]

My second thought, before realizing the truth, was 'girl, what is wrong with you, fandom 101: basic security!'

[elisi]

Boo. But I still got it, and yes, I was already aware. (As you can probably see from my replies further up...) I was quite literal when I said 'Published PWP'. ;) But, you know, good for her. No one else ever dared publish their smutty fic, but she's making a killing.

[elisi]

LOL.

That, or: Publish it! ;)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Quality writers have their pride, their art and their cheap chocolate as comfort =P

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Maybe not quite as PWP, but I know of several LJ peeps who have turned their fanfic into realfic. Online publishing, mostly, but still.

[elisi]

Well one of my OCs broke out of a fic and has basically turned his story into a book.

I'm kinda stalled at the moment, but I'll get there. :)

[elisi]

Ooooh, nice one! And is that my icon? (I always forget that now and again I make them. This was a lovely surprise.)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

That one? Yep, it is :)
