I'm reading it... It's interesting...
I'm cringing a lot tho, a lot of the controlling and him telling her what to do and her just doing it, and because she also worries about what will happen if she is always second guessing herself because he won' like it, the fighting and then it turning into him punishing her and sex it's making me uncomfortable a lot. But that is most of my issues and nto so much wrong with the book...

omg Ocean princess, thats funny! i got the irits with all the talking her inner goddess and subconscious do, but kinda got used to it by the end of the book. just finished the first book. must admit, i got bored with the sex. always the same. feeling in her belly, down THERE. about to fall in a million pieces, grey finding his release. haha
but im a sucker for a book with hype, and im off to buy the other two lol

The inner goddess drove me nuts too! But by the third book I was more interested in Mr Grey himself and how he turned out.

Have not read the thread...but just started the book and um it's terrible! I don't really care what happens and don't want to. Keep reading! Does it get better? I knew it wouldn't be fantastic as its a fan fiction but thought it would be ok :-/

This is only the second book in my entire life that I didn't finish and I read a lot. I couldn't stand it. Maybe it's my inner feminist (all the "I'll take all his c'rap because maybe, just maybe, I can fix him *rolls eyes*), maybe it was the shocking writing (crap, double crap, sextuple crap), maybe it was the scene at the end where he pretty much admitted that he got off on hurting her (I skipped to the last chapters to see if it got better....it didn't). I am not a prude but violence of any kind is just wrong and it surprised me how disturbed I was by that one scene. Anyway, I can kinda understand why it's popular but I won't be finishing it.

i actually find it interesting the popularity of it amongst females (mainly due to explicit nature) considering the controlling, domineering, aspects. i didnt think that many women would find it a turn on.

This is pretty good article about the BDSM in the book.

The thing is i don't think it's JUST men that partake in these acts, yes in this book it is about a man with these issues but there are dominant women out there too.
Personally i don't mind the explicit writing, but i also don't mind some of DP's naughty DVD's or books, se seem to forget that sexuality is not just a male thing, lots of women are also into these things.
Again it's not for me and i wouldn't be doing these things in my bedroom but i don't think it's as big a deal to read it as some people think.
That said i do understand why it's not for everyone.

It doesn't get better Boomba, no. Just to put it bluntly.
But I succumbed and started the second one. And then got told by a colleague that it doesn't really resolve half of the issues raised. Great!

Op. it was originally called masters of the universe and th characters where belly and Edward...fan fiction is where they take the characters and make a new story kinda based loosely on the original lol
I was quite bored with it by Chapter 16 of Book 1 Boomba. I however could not put down Book 2, and can't wait to start Book 3 going on Book 2's ending.

Oh well I have some sort of story line to look forward to I hope!!!
Really Boomba? Righto then - cant imagine Bella and Edward carrying on like that... I guess the key word is "loosely"...

ROFL OP. You took the words right out of my mouth!
The writing is seriously lame.
I decided I had to read it to see what all the fuss was about. i'm not that far into it but its not my thing. Actually, its disturbing.

Finished book 2 @ 2:30am, ended up downloading book 3... Will prob read that tomorrow.
Writing doesn't particularly get better but I still couldn't put it down.
I'm over her 'inner goddess' & the repetitive sex scenes, but it's an easy read & the storyline is ok.
