For La Parisienne especially and for everyone who (a) appreciates good writing and (b) takes pleasure in shredding bad writing. If you thought Twilight was bad, wait until you get a load of Fifty Shades of Grey! Fifty Shades started out as Twilight fanfic. That should tell you something.
Now behold the intrepid soul who is reading Fifty Shades of Craptastic so you don't have to! It is to Fifty Shades of Sewage what Reasoning with Vampires is to Twilight.
Have I personally read Fifty Shades of Abominable? No. I've only encountered snippets and excerpts, but they were enough to convince me that I'll never read the whole thing. Am I really not going to read the book? ABSOLUTELY. "But, but, Minerva! Isn't this unfair? Doesn't this fly in the face of your usual demand for intellectual rigor and solid research and ... ?" There's an exception for every rule, sweet cheeks. Read this again and grant me a dispensation just this once, mmmmkay? Twilight was bad enough because it's clearly Stephenie Meyer's weird personal fantasy. I have no desire to get involved in someone else's fantasy about that fantasy. Nope, you'll find me off reading Jasper Fforde or Daniel Silva.
