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 know that I spend too much time on LJ when I look at "POS" and think "People of... what??" lol, piece of shit is right.

I think the best reading I've found so far is by Gilbert Gottfried: http://cltampa.com/dailyloaf/archives/2012/05/21/gilbert-gottfried-reads-50-shades-of-grey-video#.T8ogL0c21IE
Certainly 'the way it is meant to be read' :D

I'm the same with this book. But I console myself with the thought that it's not because people choose shitty erotica over the good one, it's because looking up erotic ebooks online is one of the things middle-aged women can't ask their sons to help with. And also, because it was a cynical exploit of Twilight fandom. It wouldn't get to the mainstream if crazed twihards didn't catapult it there (for which, of course, they didn't get an ounce of thanks from James). It's obvious that 50 shades is the exact same relationship dynamic twihards love in twilight. The reason good writers didn't find the same success with domestic abuse packaged as romance is because they're smart enough to see that this is wrong. James is either too cynical to care or she doesn't see that... 50 shades is a marketing phenomenon, not a literary one. James knew what she was doing when she ctrl+h'd her fanfic and posted it on amazon. She was so popular as a fanfic writer she got her own fucking convention! There's an LJ that tells the story of how she was determined to "cash in on her paycheck" after her pornfic raised like $30.000 (?) on a charity auction.
