Subject: 50 Shades of Grey - what's the deal?

Written By: ChuckyG on 06/05/12 at 10:46 am

I keep hearing about this bad Twilight fanfic that got published recently. Are middle aged women that desperate for poorly written smut?

There's an EPIC, EPIC I TELL YOU, picture thread on fark right now with actual quotes from the book. Such comedic highs I have not seen in a long time I have to tell you! I want to make this one into a poster...

I think the first quote mentioned on that page might be reflective of what's actually practised in the BDSM community. I remember reading some BDSM fiction over sixteen years ago that was filled with lines like that.

The object of desire in the biggest-selling porn for women is a sadistic billionaire businessman who enslaves, humiliates, and batters a vulnerable young virgin. "50 Shades" is not the first mommy porn playing on this theme, nor will it be the last.

I have always found women's claims that they want a kind, sensitive man with whom to embark on an equal partnership rather self-deluded, if not disingenuous.

Princess Molestia (right there on the boderline of barely-safe-for-work but not-safe-for-sanity) would like to remind everypony who doesn't know the difference between BDSM and bad Twilight fanfic, that erotic asphyxia with a partner is dangerous enough all by itself, and that trying to do it yourself - autoerotic asphyxia - is asking for even more trouble, because if (when) you lose consciousness, there's nobody around to loosen the rope. Game over, thanks for playing.

Seriously, even if you survive, you don't wanna end up like these two, where the joke started with "Twilight, get my rope." (14:20) and ended with Dashie saying "Don't tell me, you tied yourselves up?!"

Probably are, but why not fix what's broken? For example, if the writing's the problem, why not an audiobook version? A proper narrator, such as Gilbert Gottfried, can turn even the most poorly-written smut into something guaranteed to induce both shortness of breath and tears of joy.

Well of course. That's a bookstore. They sell books. So let's be fair and take a look at some book reviews before we pass judgement. I suppose I'll continue with one of my favorite lines from the reviews of the magnificently hilarious Ms. Lumsden:

I suppose I'll close with one of my favorite lines from the mind of the magnificently inept Miss Steele:

"Raiding the fridge once more, I gather potatoes, ham, and - Yes! - peas from the freezer."

Yes!

I did not like Twilight. Which I did actually read mind you, not just watch the movies. I thought it seemed like a self-insert fantasy riddled with purple prose and angst.

Well, I could have gone with a line starting with "Do it how ya like", but why offend the lesbians? (Besides, then I wouldn't have been able to use the word "fap". Gimme a one-syllable female name that rhymes with "fap" and it's there, dude!)

Yeah, 50 Shades is basically that, with the characters renamed, and with a few more naughty words. Its greatest literary sins aren't the Mary Sue aspect (although that's a big factor in its badness), nor that it was a riff off Twilight fanfic, nor that it's erotica, it's that it's poorly-written erotic fanfic. There's better fiction out there, and there's better smut out there, yet somehow this one took off.

Three Shades of Literary Review, courtesy Katrina Lumsden:

Book 1: Fifty Shades of Grey
Book 2: Fifty Shades Darker
Book 3: Fifty Shades Freed

Read 'em and weeplaugh! The reviews are great, but I'd suggest calling safeword on reading all three books...

Probably the best reviews for a trilogy I've ever read. I laughed so hard! ;D
