Ah the BBC …

Nobody poshes it up politely quite like the BBC's Arts Editor Will Gompertz: 'And then, there is the issue of readers becoming authors, dramatically illustrated by the extraordinary success of EL James's Fifty Shades of Grey, a book that started life at a website for amateur writers responding to their favourite novels.'

I think that's a lovely way to put it, and have made a note of it for future use.

Elegant wording, absolute truth. Ah, good taste and a way with words, I do love the BBC.

Obviously, that man took the highest of roads. LOL

Love it.

Luvverly. (Was it "responding" or what you've typed?)

Amateur writers responding to their favorite novels. I like it. It almost sounds legitimate. ;)

That paragraph contains better construction and style than all three Shades of Grey novels. Beautiful.

Sadly that doesn't sound at all critical to me. Then again I can't diss my fandoms ATROCIOUS holybibleofaonetruefic no matter how much I want to when the diss Sheds. WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING. I'm suddenly wondering what would be a comparable problem for male fans/creators.
