Fifty Shades of Grey.

Post by jones jones »

The woman who wrote this novel is like a gazillionaire. Now right here in the back of beyond in darkest Africa, three chicks in the RSA have had a similar book proposal snapped up by an agent and the publishing rights are being auctioned as we speak!

As a writer I can do erotica standing on my head, but I need a "hook." In writing, a hook is like a sentence or paragraph which gets the reader interested from the get go.

So come on ladies, let me hear what you would like to read about in a similar novel. Gimme a hook. I don't know if the gaffer will allow you to put it up in a thread, but if not you can send me a private message and let me know your preference. Or you can like "hint" in the thread about what you think would make a good hook.

What you need to do is write fanfic on a wildly popular yet poorly written book series that has been or will be made into a series of wildly popular yet poorly acted movies. Then hide the evidence that you're infringing on the original's copyright.
