The erotically charged novel Fifty Shades of Grey has already become a phenomenon among eBook readers, but now it will be titillating on a much larger screen.
Universal Pictures and Focus Features announced this morning they have acquired film rights to the novel authored by TV executive and mother of two, E.L. James, with plans to create a trilogy out of the novel and its two sequels. “At its core, this is a romance of the most emotionally resonant, but delicate, order — and we look forward to working with our colleagues at Universal to transform E.L. James’ vision into a great film,” says Focus Features chief James Schamus.
The book is about wealthy 27-year-old, Christian Grey, who engages in a dominant/submissive love affair with 21-year-old college student Anastasia Steele.
In her B-plus review of the novel, which began life as Twilight fan fiction, EW’s Lisa Schwarzbaum placed the book in the tradition of erotic literature ranging from The Story of O, Toni Bentley’s The Surrender, and Catherine Millet’s The Sexual Life of Catherine M.

You can't make this shit up.
Ontd needs to write a novel.
I was talking about it with my hubs and he's all "It's not blood blood." I know that but a vamp shouldn't care right? I figure the vamp would like the taste.

i give props to some authors who at least make some mention of it in their stories
I remember stumbling upon BtVS fanfic when I was 12. That fandom is crazy, everything I've ever read after that seems so tame by comparison.
