Fifty Shades of Grey

[lovecraft68]

Aww, LC.

She wrote what she wanted to write.

Get over it.

Sigh.

You're right, but....

Pavlov's dog goddamn it!

GRRRR! This thing just rings my bell!

And sadly PL, you by your own admission are fairly vanilla, so this would be your demographic.

Sadly for whom?

What's good for you is good for you. What's good for PL is good for PL.

 

[TxRad]

Nope that would be Femdom

Nope, it would be femdom if a Domme was jumping up and down on his balls. Throbbs is a dick after all.

Hey now!
A COCK! or even a penis.

You obviously don't understand.
EVERY housewife really wants they bad boy and to be abused and beaten. If they deny it...well they are in denial.

No, not beaten, but most women are up for hotter porn than what is in the book. I mean come on man, "down there" this isn't the fifties you know?

I only went on the bad boy rant because that is what Gray is supposed to be.

And the true bad boy is a staple of romance. It's about the forbidden attraction and of course that desire to change them. So the stereotype BB has their place.

At least he didn't call you a prick.

 

[PennLady]

I did actually, I'll send you a copy when it's up, free of charge.

Good for you.

And get off the "sadly" bit. You have no idea what I like, or don't, in the privacy of my bedroom. Just b/c I choose not to read certain things doesn't mean I might not enjoy other things. You have no idea what my "demographic" is and I can tell you, judging by what I read about the methods of advertising, etc., I am probably an advertiser's "demographic" nightmare. Just b/c this book is appealing to women my age and perhaps in similar circumstances doesn't mean I'm going to like it. Trust me, there's a ton of pop culture stuff in my "demographic" that I have no use for.

She wrote what she wanted to read. And she produced something that many thousands of other women also wanted to read. Even in spite of "down there."

Now it's totally possible that many of those VERY SAME WOMEN ALSO like hotter pron than what is in the book. One paperback does not define any reader. So cut out the fuckwaffelry, okay?

On an unrelated note, thank you for typing "pron" I do that all the time and it drives me nuts. Now I don't feel so alone!

But you got to remember, I knew you before you became a penis.

True dat!

I could see a woman starting out that way all blushing etc... but as was pointed out...the transition SUCKED! hahahhahahaah
Damn, if you have a trilogy the tension can be built. the draaaama.

On the other hand... the "badness" of grey for a novice like Ana? Wa sprobably plenty "bad".

 

[THROBBS]

But you got to remember, I knew you before you became a penis.

ah, so you actually know that I am a "dick"!
You're a member of the pre-member remembering club!

They will give you 90 days for exposing yourself.

Is that like some extended warranty offer?

If your cell mate is named Bubba something might get extended and expanded also.

hehe okay. Going by the way I used it, a "fuckwaffle" is someone who hops around waving their hands and shrieking their disapproval long after it's been established that there isn't really anything to disapprove of.

LOL! Bucky, I love this.

Sorry to just jump in the middle with a question (though it does have to do with 50 Shades...)

For those who have actually read the books (or at least tried to)... are they all written in first person/present tense? I picked up one very briefly in a Waterstones today, and that's all I could see from a 30-second flip-through.

I wanted to read them just to see what it was all about, but I have a really hard time reading that pov for some reason... (nothing personal against Ms James)

beatrice, it's not just you. I don't like first person POV either, and first person POV with present tense is even worse.
