The Writer Of 50 Shades Of Grey Is Making $1.34 Million A Week

Twilight fanfic writer turned New York Times best-selling author E.L. James is orgasming with her entire body weekly and it's not from reading her own book, that's for fucking sure. It's from reading her bank statement. As each week goes by, E.L. becomes a million dollars richer and she owes it all such beautiful poetry like this:

“Does this mean you’re going to make love to me tonight, Christian?” Holy shit. Did I just say that? His mouth drops open slightly, but he recovers quickly. “No, Anastasia it doesn’t. Firstly, I don’t make love. I fuck… hard. Secondly, there’s a lot more paperwork to do, and thirdly, you don’t yet know what you’re in for. You could still run for the hills. Come, I want to show you my playroom.” My mouth drops open. Fuck hard! Holy shit, that sounds so… hot. But why are we looking at a playroom? I am mystified. “You want to play on your Xbox?” I ask. He laughs, loudly. “No, Anastasia, no Xbox, no Playstation. Come."

And:

“Christian, you had me at the meadow.”

Celebrity Net Worth (via EW) says that thanks to those exquisite words and millions of horny housewives not knowing about something called free online porn have helped E.L. sell over 20 million copies worldwide. E.L. takes 7% of every $14 paperback sold and another 25% of every $10 ebook downloaded. So they crunched those numbers together and figured out that this September she'll get a $20 million check from her publisher.

As I said before, I tried reading that mess and quickly realized that a better use for my fingers is to press play on hardcore online porn instead of turning the pages of that wreck. That shit is about as erotic as a dominatrix Rosie O'Donnell. But you know, E.L. got my money (because I'm a dumb sheeeeeeple) and so I guess she wins. Seriously, I should get beat for spending my money on that shit. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to open up my dusty Microsoft Word and write a trilogy about a society of spark vamps who have to beat the safe word out of each other in their capitol's annual Bondage Games.

I think the bad part was that i actually thought I would like it, I love Kitschy entertainment, I'll even watch those really bad z-list movies the sci-fi channel makes, but this was just beyond bad, it's like whenever she got writers block she made the characters have sex, sex becomes the answer for everything, to me that sounds like a great book until you read it and she uses "Oh My" and refers to her inner goddess I seriously wanted to smash my head against the wall

I'm going to check out Rice's Beauty books, I love Anne Rice but i've never read that series

Have you ever read the novels on which True Blood is based? My mom started tallying plot lapses, wrong character names, misspelled words, and had to stop at three notebook pages (front and back) in the first 2/3 of one "novel."
==================

I read a few of them as a teenager, and adored them. I re-read a few of them recently, and wow they're bad.

It's one of the reasons I'm not all that worried about The State of Literature. People grow out of things. They sometimes need something mindless and poorly written.

Even if it is aimed at stoooopid people, it's a discrete market. It's not like that particular niche is going to be reading, say, Dostoevsky in the original Russian. 50 Shades sounds truly awful, but it's not stealing anyone's time or attention away from well written stuff.

I'd heard it was bad, but I had no idea it was THAT bad. Who buys this shit?

You have a valid point. Might as well take advantage of mediocrity appraised as fine writing!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go shred the novel I've been working on for the last four years.

Are you kidding? My own thoughts are way dirtier than that - and better written. I'm becoming ashamed of the level to which literature (ha ha ha) has sunk in the last 10 yrs. alone. While I'm getting an evening martini ready I shall contemplate whether it's a good thing the sheep are even reading at this point ... or not.

I'm not a BDSM person, but I agree with Swarmie - Rice's Sleeping Beauty series is a good read even if that lifestyle really isn't your thing.

To add to the misery of bad books, I just read that the Jenner brats are "writing" a teen novel!

An editor I follow on Twitter said the Jenners are writing a science fiction novel. The only science fiction I see in that is an imaginary world in which they actually have between them two brain cells to rub together.

Rdeadline's picture

Good for her for making tons of money off suckers. It's the same sort of non erotic semi-literate crap that is in a series that's gone to shit, Anita Blake vampire hunter. Except instead of raising zombies and killing vamps Anita is doing bad mary sue bondage sex with vamps and weres and whatever else. I only know about this crap, because if the series was all sex I wouldn't have read any of it, because the first 9 books are full of pulp mystery and then the author started doing drugs and went mad because there are 11 more books that are nothing like the first 9. See, Anita gets a supernatural std called the aduer that makes her need sex every few hours. This is the most um-empowered thing ever, since it makes her have sex with strangers and guys she doesn't like. While fans of the early books complain, the author has fans of her current slopped together books, WHO ONLY READ HER BOOKS. OVER AND OVER. They are very young or middle aged. These women probably have branched out to read Shades of Gray. The author of Anita Blake is fucking bat shit, imo, so some of you might get a kick out of looking into it.

The only 50 Shades of Barf excerpts I've read have been here on the D, and have underwhelmed me. It's like Twilight meets amateur night at the swingers' club meets Creative Writing 101.

For good (kinky!) erotica, try The Leather Daddy and the Femme by Carol Queen.

Anne Rice's Beauty Series is 10x better if you're looking for fangirl bdsm rewrites. At least that's what I've suggested to people who are looking to dip their toes in that world. There's a little something for any persuasion. I learned about human ponies from those books so it was worth it for that alone.

Is it really a passage from the book? Is she really so illiterate and lacklustre? I could write better than her in my broken English or in my hyper-cryptic Italian. A pity my self-awareness is so high I can't even imaging to ridicule myself with such form of ""art"".

Anytime. I guess it depends on your tastes, but I find those erotic enough. If you want more emotional I think The Surrender by Toni Bentley does the trick (submission lite) if you want sick and shocking shit read Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille. Gah! That book fucking ruined me!

And then you've got Anais Nin and Marques De Sade

I don't know how these morons that call themselves feminists can sit back and blame men for the problems women face getting anywhere in society. It sure as fuck ain't men running out to buy this shit.

And on another note, WOMEN are the reason why female writers are never taken seriously or given a chance to get published unless they are writing crap like this that doesn't require the employment of a single brain cell. I fucking despise the times I am living in.

the worst part was when my more sexually conservative friend asked me why in the book does Ana say it feels good when he hits her with a riding crop in the clit. I've been with my husband for 10 years and we've tried a little bit of S&M but i've never wanted him to hit me in the clit and i couldn't imagine that actually would feel good

ugh i managed to say no to the twatlight shit and the hongary games, hopefully i remember this the next time i'm tempted to be a sheepie

I say read Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch and One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed by Melissa P. for good erotica.
