Someone should do a fanfic of FSoG.
Does a parody count?
As the website describes it:
Why "fifty-one" shades? Because it's one shade better than Fifty Shades of Grey.
*snrk*

Wow. That's some powerful and agile erection. It must have opposable thumbs.
Your imagination is better than mine. Me, I just heard a BOING! sound.
Oh lordy, that popsicle reference in the quote made me think of what Edward's thing must feel like. >.<
“Miss Steal,” he says, gazing at me gazingly with his gazing gray eyes.
I do feel for her a bit, like others have said. What the heck is she going to do now?
We interrupt this hilarity to bring you "Heza's Stupid Copyright Question of the Day."
Okay, so if you post something online, for free, it's no longer copyrightable? And everyone can repost it to their heart's content?
If it's not copyrightable. Can someone take your prose and sell it? For example, if I started posting serial stories on my blog, could someone else come along, bundle them and sell it as an ebook?
Maybe she'll write another top-seller. Whatever its origins, this book is being read and enjoyed by people far removed from the Twilight fan community. Despite the complaints about her writing style, she's obviously created something that people want to read, and that's the name of the game. Or at least it's the name of one of the games.
It sounds like a strong editor would help her out, and it's too bad she didn't get that for this story. In the future, assuming she'll accept it, she should be able to get that help and take care of the issues everyone's finding so amusing. And she'll still have the understanding of what readers are looking for that's made her successful in this case.
I really don't think she needs our pity.
But would we have known it started out as Twilight fanfic without being told it was?

Fanfiction is all well and good if you just want to play around with it as a hobby. But making money from others' work crosses a serious line. Much better to put in the time to learn how to make your OWN characters. Then you're justified in making money off of what you do. Get your own goddamn ideas.
