Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Eh, BDSM culture seems to employ a lot of leather.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili What about those of us who are obsessed with super-strong, smokin' hot people punching each other and having lots and lots of mind-blowing sex? (edit: Occasional sex with robots is optional)
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili But how much of that shagging is actually seen/described?
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Well, there is always fanfic...
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Yeah, I've heard about that, on Topless Robot. Not impressed.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Topless Robot: where you go for massive amounts of WTF fanfic. There's some there that's downright traumatizing. And there's some that makes you wonder what the author was on.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili I know a couple of women who never read books that have picked up the 1st of these and seem to be really into it. So it's definitely penetrating (ha) into the population of people who don't normally read, and I thin that has a lot to do with it's success. I tried reading it out of curiosity and was kind of bored by it.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili I'm not gonna (or want to) argue against BDSM, what consenting people get up I couldn't care less about. But all I'm saying is I have read the book, and it's fairly explicitly stated that Christian Grey gets his rocks off by inflicting pain on women.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Few women's opinion about the book(s):
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili I find it odd that there are age limits on games, but there a young girls buying this book.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili This has to be the best review of this book. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/29/victoria-coren-fifty-shades-of-grey Explains the real reason women are reading it!
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili "Puts the 'B' in to Anal" is a cover quote if I ever saw one.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Who's reading this? Maybe you need to listen to it instead: [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K1RcKJVbHA[/yt]
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili If I had that audio version I might just be able to get through this book instead of giving up reading just a few pages of the Amazon Look Inside feature.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili I have managed to finish the 1st book, but I don't think I can make it though the other two.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili Twilight and Stephenie Meyer could have the last laugh though if only because this series was actually a Twilight fanfic published FREE on fanfiction.net a few years ago. Christian and Ana were Edward and Bella.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili ^ Wait... so '50 Shades' is actually... 'My Immortal'?????
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili No It was an extremely popular fanfic named "Master of the Universe" by the same writer (or MOTU in twific parlance). Her moniker as a fanfic writer was "Snowqueens Icedragon". There was even a YT vid made (the most watched one, at least) by JustBiel that's been since re-uploaded from what I can tell. It was hugely popular with millions of hits at one point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A1HGsNdays&feature=plcp And this is the second vid she put up. They were both hugely popular. It doesn't surprise me that 50 Shades is this popular. After MOTU was published, some fans even wanted Pattinson to sign on a MOTU printout, from what I've heard lol. Both Pattinson and Stewart knew about MOTU. It was that popular. I'm not surprised she went to a publisher with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqTAZsnkfh4&feature=relmfu
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili The Twilight equivalent, just more successful.
Re: 50 Shades Of Grey phenomenon? Mommy porn outsells Potter and Twili My Immortal was Harry Potter. And someone's actually come forward on FF saying he was Tara Gilesbie.
