I'm kind of in the same boat, OP. And while the other commenters have a point about the numerous other reasons 50 Shades gets shit on, fanfic is definitely not widely respected outside fandom spaces, so for a former fic to get so popular in mainstream circles IRL is pretty inspiring even if the actual fic-turned-novel is awful.

I feel similarly about Cassie Claire.

You really shouldn't be inspired by anything about cassie Claire, especially considering the origins of her fanfic.

I'm speaking strictly about the fact that a former fanfic writer became a published author. I don't like her or EL James as writers or as people, and didn't mean to imply otherwise.

why not?

it's clear that it's more and more acceptable.

the lines are blurring.

even know, Hugh Howey (author of Wool...look him up if you don't know him) encourages fanfiction of his book and gives two thumbs up to self-publish it. NO SCRUBBING OFF NAMES!

no name scrub.

self-publish.

PROFIT!
