The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[fieldy snuts]

I hadn't even heard of this fifty shades shit last month and now it's gone viral among girls I know from uni students to singles, to the married and they seem more obsessed with it than teen girls ever were about Twilight. I had no idea hardcore graphic S&M fiction sold so well to soccer moms and girls outside of Mills & Boon.

And it's not terribly good either, I flicked through my friends copy and it's atrocious. There's even a token Hispanic guy that says "dios mio" in every sentence and every expression of amazement seems to be "holy moses" or "golly" in what's supposed to be a NY setting. The hardcore scenes are also as bad as some of the fantasies we've read centered around PG's rack on comic forums.

As for the title of this thread, yeah.....my newspaper's book reviews said this was originally an Elseworlds Twilight story written by some woman with too much time on her hands.

So how in the hell did this become a cult hit?

yeah it's twilight erotic fanfic, the author changed the names to have it published. The trilogy of books were all released on the same day. Its truly awful.

About every girl I know on facebook says that 50 shades stuff is good.

Not only that. They say it's "SOOOOOO good."

Who cares. It's girly stuff anyways.

is that what that is?

I heard about this a couple weeks ago because my friend's fiance was raving about it...

Red flag. You never hear guys raving about it.

It reminds me of a great line from Tom Hanks' best film, Bachelor Party.

"I like my smut a little less clean."

Because publishers finally discovered that women are just as (if not more) perverted as men.

Seems about right. Wonder if some are down to role play scenes from the book

It is hilariously poorly written, but people are lapping it up. Just like every other recent literary sensation.

Brit Posters might appreciate this though:

Fifty Shades of Andy Gray. It writes itself really, and they're doing so well holding off on mentioning anyone's back doors.

Great ways to teach women the offside rule there.

He threw her on the bed like a crazed beast. "I'm going to enter you so hard" he barked "not even three Pepe Reinas could stop it."

For better or worse, sellers of adult "novelties" and Lowe's are praising the book for an increase in sells of toys and rope.

Well, Twilight is crap but girls like it... so it stands to reason they'd like crappy Twilight S&M fanfic, I suppose...

Don't underestimate the popularity of awful things with the American public.
