The worst thing about FIFTY SHADES OF GREY. . .

. . . you can no longer say, with perfect confidence, "Trust me, honey, nobody's EVER gonna want to pay money to read your second-rate TWILIGHT smutfic."

So I've heard!

Is it worse than Gor?

I don't know. I've only read, like, one Gor book, and that was when I was in junior high school, and I've not read any SHADES OF GREY, nor, for that matter, TWILIGHT. As such, I can make no first-hand comparison.

I merely know that the original work which was search-and-replaced into SHADES OF GREY was a TWILIGHT smutfic, people who've read it have called it second-rate, and SHADES OF GREY has made lots and lots of money.

I think i'm happier not knowing enough about either to have any idea what you're talking about :)


And i plan to keep it that way!
