50 Shades of Grey...

posted 7th Dec
Someone explain to me how some people still consider it Twilight fanfiction?

I get the Masters of the Universe thing, but it was completely reworked into what it is now, right?

I'm still seeing it marketed as something "Twilight fans will love" and I really just don't get it.

maybe bc the author wrote that as a spin off to her love for the twilight series? idk. I've heard horrible reviews about it so i never read it.

:-/ Idk I was a twilight fan (the books, not so much the movies) and I loved 50 shades... But I definitely don't see a connection lol.

Probably because that's how it started, that's what the author based it off of?

"Twilight Fanfiction" just means that a Twilight fan wrote it...basically like a fan loved the Twilight books so much they decided to write their own version, spin-off, etc. However I loved Twilight and 50 shades made me extremely uncomfortable.

Masters of the Universe was a Twilight fanfiction the author wrote.

She basically took the scenarios and worked original characters into it.

But it's still being marketed as Twilight fanfiction.

First of all, that's illegal. Second, and most importantly, it's dumb as hell.

I'd hate to see the average young Twilight fan reading 50 Shades... I think it's too hardcore for the audience the Twilight books were intended for. Maybe the correlation is made because it's a trilogy and delves into the "forbidden" and "taboo" aspects of sexuality?

I saw Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty" series at Walmart marketed as something fans of 50 Shades would enjoy... However, that series is WAY more hardcore than 50 Shades (and surprisingly, it wasn't all wrapped in plastic, either...and it's really a lot more detailed and gets into the hardcore BDSM stuff).

You are wrong. That isn't what fanfiction means at all.

Wow. You're really telling me to look it up? Lol.

It isn't a fanfiction just because it's written by a fan of a certain series. I really adore The Hunger Games; does that make anything I write Hunger Games fanfiction? Only if it has something to do with The Hunger Games. 50 Shades of Grey has NOTHING to do with the Twilight Saga.

Actually, I believe she's right. It's when a fan of the story takes the characters and extends the story by creating stories based on them and possibly on settings within the original story.


"Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language."
