’50 Shades of Grey’ Author E.L James on Rewriting Trilogy: Never Say Never



Is Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L James releasing more books from Christian Grey’s perspective?

The British author may rewrite the best-selling trilogy — Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed — to reflect Christian’s point of view, according to the NY Daily News. All three books were originally was published from Anastasia Steele’s
perspective.


A source close James told Celebuzz that “nothing is official yet” but did reveal…

EL James is not opposed to the idea.

During a book signing back in May, Celebuzz learned that James was asked by a fan if she would consider rewriting the best selling novels from the billionaire’s perspective. Her response:

Never say never.

For those of you who are not familiar with the entire trilogy, in the final book Fifty Shades Freed, the epilogue is from Christian’s point of view as he recounts first meeting Ana. It definitely wet fans appetite for more.

I walked into the kitchen yesterday and saw a copy of 50 Shades of Grey on the counter. Apparently my mother is borrowing it from a coworker. I'M NOT ON THIS PLANET FOR THAT.

My grandma read all three of these books and loved them. She's re-read them at least two or three times each and won't stop talking about them to anyone that will listen. I don't even know how to deal with this shit.
fluorescentx 12th-Jun-2012 08:04 pm (UTC)
oh god no D: are you finding it difficult to look her in the eye?
deadendqueen16 12th-Jun-2012 09:02 pm (UTC)
LMAO, I just start yelling "no!" whenever she tries to talk about it.
bluekrinkle 12th-Jun-2012 08:12 pm (UTC)
I don't think I would want to know that about my grandma :/
stormer1_1 13th-Jun-2012 05:55 am (UTC)
lolol

My grandma probably would have called it "interesting" and proceeded to tell me how they were doing it wrong.

my grandma thinks the sex scenes in True Blood are nbd, she'd probably think these books were lame as fuck tbh.
mollywobbles867 15th-Jun-2012 03:10 pm (UTC)
My brain just exploded. My grandma would start reading it and wonder how it was published in the first place (she was incredibly smart and well-read) and then the first sex scene would come or something filthy and she would have tossed it in a fire and grabbed her Bible.
bluekrinkle 12th-Jun-2012 08:11 pm (UTC)
lol, no though.
xdecadentx 12th-Jun-2012 08:12 pm (UTC)
It worries me that people love these books.

Yeah he's 'hot' and rich, so that negates him being controlling and abusive? In what universe?

(I haven't read the books, but this is the impression I guet)
daisyazul 12th-Jun-2012 08:16 pm (UTC)
My friends are dying for me to read this, I keep saying no.

I am so fucking sick of reading about this damn book on FB.

This is worse than Twilight.

In the name of friendship I am slogging through these books creating a detailed outline (research for a project she's working on) and holy hell it's killing me. I hope she credits me. At first I was trying to keep it amusing by making snarky tweets while reading but by the end of the second book I was bored out of my skull.

And anyone who tries to say they're different from Twilight is full of shit. I'm tempted to do a side by side comparison because it is basically Twilight rewritten right down to the characters, settings, descriptions, etc. The things that are different are basically just an amalgam of all the bad Twific out there.

And really, James? Keep riding SMeyer's coattails. I wish she'd wake up and smell the coffee.

This. All the same supporting characters, all the same pairings amongst those characters, same best friend who's in love with "Ana", same creeper who tries to kill "Ana" and "Christian". And all the CEO/BDSM stuff is fandom cliches that she ripped off from other fics.

Is your icon from Twilight in 15 Minutes? I love M15M so much.

What project is she working on?? As a PhD student myself, it makes me sad that government funding money is contributing to anything related to this series.
