So, yes, we all know the story. Woman writes Twilight fanfic. Twilight fanfic gets repurposed as erotica series known as “50 Shades Of Grey”. Woman makes money. People make fun of situation.
Really the only problem as a progeek for me is the latter one – the mockery.
From what I hear about “50 Shades of Grey” is, to put it mildly, is rather purple and the content is may disturb some. It’s not Shakespeare or Pratchett, and there’s elements that sound rather squicky. But really the only criticism that seems relevant to me may be some of these quality issues, and even then there’s only so much I can say because I actually watch films like “2 Headed Shark Attack.”*
