Fifty Shades themed fics....*Some recs inside*

[buttrfli-80.livejournal.com]

I just finished Fifty Shades of Grey book 1. I was wondering if there are any fics along the lines of Shades for my boys Brian and Justin. If so please share.

Thanks in advance!!!

I wanted to say: I sure fucking hope not!

But then I remembered what fandom I'm in and that I'd be up for a big disappointment. Check the bdsm tag, I'm certain people have been writing this kind of fic since the beginning of internet. 50 shades isn't even much different from every generic bdsm fic.

OK, I don't want to be uselessly rude, I apologize for my outburst, I just react allergically to 50 shades. My rec is: it's not allowed to request fics by this author in this comm, but if you're willing to spend a few bucks, check out Mask by Jan Irving (http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=1177). It's BDSM, it's M/M and it used to be a Brian/Justin fanfic. I only read one or two chapters of the original fic, but it is hot and Jan is a good erotica writer who also knows how to write plot, which cannot be said about EL James. If you liked the relationship dynamics in 50 Shades, I think you might like Mask.

Here's that BDSM tag (http://getithere.livejournal.com/tag/kink%3A%20bdsm) for you ('cause not everyone knows to look under "kink").

Is it BDSM? BDSM fic that I remember exactly is 'You Bet Your Ass' by Vamphile.
I've read Noir & Apple from Jan Irving too before she locked all her fics.
Oh also Want from crazyevildru http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=crazyevildru&keyword=Want&filter=all but to read, you have to friend her.

I was recently at a party with old college friends. One man asked, "Have you read Fifty Shades of Grey like every other housewife in America?"

I answered, "No, I have better porn."

I figured Brian/Justin was better than Edward/Bella (or their whatever they've been renamed to make the book original fic). He did goggle a bit at my reply.

I read it because I was curious especially because of the "former fan fiction" aspects. It wasn't all bad - just badly written *coughs*. Which means that it still sucks you in. Obviously. People may say that they don't like it, but they still buy it, don't they? For me, it's a good example for "guilty pleasures".

I do agree that we have way better porn here in our fandom, but there are AUs about "Pretty Woman" and other stuff that is just as bad and I still read it, so why not "50 shades"? Just stealing the concept doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be a bad thing.

confused_bliss has a WIP called Chosen (http://confused-bliss.livejournal.com/tag/chosen) that's BDSM. I haven't read any of it, so I can't tell you whether it's good or not, but it is being updated regularly.

Wow, just spent an hour googling, wikipedia-ing 50 shades of grey since I had no freaking clue what it was about and I am just...errm...Just not my cup of tea. High up there with the CheeseGrater!Fic.

Uhmmm...if you want BDSM go for elyxer's site and some of her stories.

Ehmmm...for a better and much lighter, psychologicaly rational explanation/scenes of BDSM without stomping on Marquis de Sade and Sacher-Masoch go for Why not with me by indigo over on midnightwhispers.

ps. A BESTSELLER? For reals?! THUD!

I'm glad you all cleared up what Shades of Gray was about. It is all anyone and everyone at my job are talking about. I downloaded a sample and was unimpressed, after all, I have been reading bj fanfiction, LOL. I never got past the first 2 pages of the book.

I'm not into BDSM. It's just not my thing, but I did take a chance on confused_bliss' Chosen, and I do enjoy it.

I've read Jan Intentions and love the plot of her stories. I just skip through the BDSM parts.

As when people as me if I have read Shades of Grey, I just tell them I'm too old and jaded for such fare. I read Anne Rice's Sleeping beauty when most of them were in grade school. I need a story with more substance than that.

Now about Twilight fanfiction...I have and do indulge. There are some excellent stories there as well as some not so good, but that can be said for anywhere as demonstrated recently about squick fics, I think it is called.^^

I don't get the '50 shades' craze. It's rehashed porn, and not good porn either. The first BDSM book I read was the story of 'O'. Anyone read that?

Check out leather bound and collared on midnight whispers. Have no plan to read 50 shades so can't tell you if it's the same. You might also want to check out buckeye5
's page "making a scene" is a WIP but leaves off in a good spot.

Sorry...

If I had known this request would have cause all this I would have just tried another way. Book 1 of Shades was given to me and after reading it I was wondering if there were any good B/J fics with the same theme. I will choose my words differently when asking for something in this comm.
