I just found out that 50 shades of grey is a "best seller" not because people like it ironically (though I still think that is what it actually is) but because a lot of people legitimately enjoy it.
Which confuses me greatly.
Neo. Neo, friend neo. Fanfiction. Fan. Fiction. Which 50 shades is. There are people. Who legitimately enjoy. Absolutely terrible fanfiction. Not because they like it ironically, but because it presses little joynubs in their brain that makes them happy. That legolas and johnny depp are boinking each other or whatever. There's no need to be confused. Just accept that some folks are wired differently and roll with it.
Though Max, from what I understand (because like hell I'm reading it) 50 shades isn't even decently written porn. I mean. It's okay if you like that. I can dig it, there's some nice stuff along those lines. But. A little class, maybe? There's better stuff for that, and fanfiction is generally free (barring exceptions like 50 SoG), so... no need to pay for a substandard lemon fic. There's
bucketloads of those.
Massive seething mounds of them.
On the other hand, 50sog was probably the first encounter a lot of people had with a substandard lemon fic, and, like. They addict some people. There's a certain appeal, like with crack or meth or whatever. Some folks have a very low threshold of hook in relation to that kind of thing. Probably exacerbated by years of romance fiction. So some people coming upon this great new thing (that's only great because they don't actually have exposure to the great stuff) go "Wow." It's understandable. All you can do is try to help them.
