So... how much money would a 50 shades of grey fanfic make?
Is this some kind of a loophole? Is the quality reversely proportional to the amount of money made?
Either way, please please please no one let that happen.

Even after watching people on television talk about it, I'm still not sure why anyone actually likes this book. All anyone ever says is that it's dirty. So fucking what? I mean, I have yet to see anyone say, "I like this book, and this is why."
Can someone explain this to me? I just don't get it.
Two words.
Puritan society.
Sex is taboo. Something that so glorifies sex, and in a way that panders (emphasis on panders) to the LCD of the female intimacy interest level sells like football sells to the LCD part of the male mindset.
Both pander to the dumbest parts of each gender.
And yes, if anyone reading this likes football, I'm calling you dumb. You like spending hours watching the glorification of physical prowess over intellectual prowess. You're dumb. Deal with it.
