ONTD

I appreciate your optimism <3

This

After seeing ladies buy 20 copies at a time, I really wouldn't doubt if it gets close to that.

I take heart in the fact that this piece of shit strikes me as totally flash in the pan, whereas HP will be around for a long time

Because unlike Harry Potter, it never came out in hardcover to begin with.

because people are stupid

I know, I was at first like euw, but now I think it's hilarious, because Harry Potter fandom is freaking out.

who is this pretty bitch?

flawless gif usage tbh

Fuck buying that shit. Why would you buy it when you can get it for free? Ugh.

I tried reading the original fanfiction. I got halfway through the first one and I couldn't take it anymore.

I like reading shitty pop culture phenoms like this so I can accurately revel in my hatred for them, but this was too much for me.

I downloaded an ebook out of curiosity but have yet to open it out of fear

I've read excerpts but not the book in it's entirety yet.

One of my friends and I were thinking about downloading it and making some kind of drinking game out of it as we read it.

read some passages that were posted on here, in randomn posts, and, well,

never have, never will

I read it, I was ridiculously bored and wanted to procrastinate.

They are so. bad. Omg the inner goddess shit drove me up the fucking wall. There are no redeeming qualities to it.

Somebody posted a download link (would never buy this shit) and I read half of the first book.

It was even more horrible than you could imagine.

I thought it was fucking hilarious to be honest. Hilarious and bad. It made me feel good about my writing abilities and lbr I don't have any writing ability.

I skimmed and jumped around several pages of the original fanfic trying to find the most horrific quotes to use when trolling Yahoo comments.

It's awful... She cannot complete full... Every paragraph is dotted with unfinished thoughts... And the character's inner thoughts are the most infantile dribble... It reads like what a 13 year old that has watched too much porn would believe is sexy...

Yep. First it was so ridiculous and badly written that I laughed out loud.

Then it just get so pathetic and sad, I couldn't even smile. Stopped it.

I've seen bits and pieces and they were more than enough.
It's really telling how awful a book is when you see an advert for baby oil on tv and immediately think of the terrible passage where the fucking character says "oh wow, baby oil is so useful as both a makeup remover AND sore ass soother!"

what the fuck

i read this crap. i wrote my entire masters thesis on fandom and well... felt it could be a good read to add to my future research projects. (also, everyone at my work was reading it, and well, i wanted to be part of conversations).


overall, this shit is so sexist, irrelevant and degrading. hated the entire thing and i hated how poorly it was written. i swear, it feels like someone who's 13 and has never had sex before wrote this book. all the damn thing is moaning, self pity and well stupidity.

I keep trying and losing my interest.

I read 50shadesofsuck.tumblr.com

it was enough

hale no. i've read snippets here and there online and OMG i could roll over on my laptop keyboard in the middle of the night and wake up with something better than this

I did. it took me forever to get thru. i like to know what i am hating on. its a piece of shit

I got halfway through the first page in the Amazon preview and realized that I read better smut and erotica written by teen girls for free online in fanfic.

I read the whole trilogy in a day! I thought I was going to puke by the end! eeeguh my choices

Mr. DeMartino and this gif are an excellent combo. A+

omg richard harris i miss you!!!

Perfect icon

lol your icon is brilliant (and rather appropriate)

OMG HEY BB<3333

I love seeing -h at the mothership

Same.

IA. When people my age say Harry Potter is their favorite book, I just assume they haven't really read anything else.

lol because Harry Potter and this are on the same level. Yeah okay.

Stop worrying so much about what other people like. Superiority complexes are nagl </3

lol people get so offended by comments like this, who cares what other people think about your taste.

Yep, this. I think it's funny how people are mad about you judging them for thinking Harry Potter is one of the best book series out there, yet they're judging people who think that whatever this book is, is outselling their beloved series. They're judging, too. But whatever, can't account for taste.

It's really fun how you equate "favourite book" with "good book" and then make assumptions about other people's intelligence. Let me put it like this for you, dear - you're in a glass house and you're throwing stones.

Beginning with your own, obviously.

There's a difference between 50 Shades--which is full of typos, research mistakes, dangerous messages, cliches out the ass, crimes against grammar and punctuation in the first degree, and was a piece of FANFICTION with the names replaced--and a middle grade series with simplistic writing. And if you want to equate one with the other, expect those of us who DO love HP to come at you. Because nothing in the literary world has made me so fucking pissed off as 50 Shades of Grey, therefore I ain't gonna take being compared to people who like that bullshit.
