All-Star Veteran Versus New Posters

I feel so dumb, but I had never heard of fanfiction until 50 shades of Grey. Can you explain to me what it is? (sorry for the hijack, but I've been wanting to ask but was too afraid to ask - thought the nice "be nicer to newbies" thread would be a safe place )

it kills me your reading that book lol

I'm reading the 3rd one now too. I often read out at lunch and feel like I need to cover the book so no one knows what I am reading!! In all truth though I'm not really that crazy about the series but I am one of those OCD people that has to finish something I start. There are SO many intimate scenes that I just skim over now. Hahahaha!

haha find a dust jacket of another book that is kinda the same size and just place it over it. I know its paper back so it would be awkward feeling but no one else would notice.

I agree! The writing is awful - the girl says "Holy cow/crap/whatever" on every page, and some of the "intimate scenes" are now just excessive and annoying. Someone earlier said they started out as part of the story line, and now they're just gratuitous - true. But I'm also OCD and have to finish every book I ever start, no matter if I like it or not. But I must admit I don't really understand the hype.

If you sit in our parent room at the gym there are at least 5 moms reading it at any given time. Awkward.

I have a nook, so I read it on there. But I usually read on the subway to or from work and I just couldn't do it, the seats are too close! I did see a couple of women last week reading the paperback on the train, and I thought they were brave to do so!

I read them in a few days because I was having a lazy weekend and my boyfriend was playing video games. I agree about the quantity of those scenes, it got a little bit ridiculous, but it was some good light reading.

i think any book with those type of scenes shouldnt be excessive. like cool it haha

I haven't read it, but it does get annoying when women ask me for clarification or consultations on it.

Disagree. I started Harry Potter and instantly was over it. I have yet to see any of the movies. Hunger Games on the other hand I finished the series in about a week.

We should probably move this discussion to the books thread
