So I guess this is real




so the first book was a magical mary sue
this is the genderswap version

so the next should be a Harry Potter crossover?

In weird way I can't blame her, because she's making a fuckton of money.

And I'm sure the idea that such bad writing got published gives hope to all other writers aspiring to be published.

but rewriting your original book as a 400 page genderswap? It just seems, unnecessary ... wonder if EL James will rip off this one.

Now that would be interesting. I would definitely read the critics and reviews around a EL James genderswap.

Would people see Gray's behavior as abusive if it's an older woman preying on a young, insecure man? Or would they be more inclined to think he should stand up for himself, grow a pair, etc.?

well thats exactly the point isn't it? if she'd genderswapped to begin with, that might have been interesting, except not doing any research on bdsm lifestyle still a problem
