50 Shades of Octarine - Please

[RosM]

I'd love to see the Pratchett touch on this genre.

Nice idea, but Terry doesn't really do passion.

Maybe a story about Reg Shoe called 50 Shades Greyer.

Welcome to the site.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Great idea.

Mildly disturbing.
But he could spank a lady using his own arm but handcuffs would probably be useless.
The ol Kama Sutra could learn a thing or two when you have someone who can reposition body parts.
It'll give new meaning to having a stiffy

I'm not sure that Sir Terry would be able to, even intentionally, write badly enough to keep 50 shades fans happy.

As for love stories, go read Thief of Time, that's got a nice one in it.

He does love stories - he just doesn't do sex.

I can see it now, obviously starring a young Nanny Ogg

He does love stories - he just doesn't do sex.

He does plenty of innuendo though.

I thought "innuendo" was an Italian suppository.

Penners I thought you would be Pasta making a quip like that.

Hilariously (for me) I edit erotic romance novels for a living. For the record, they've existed (and I've been editing them) for much longer than 50 Shades, and so have BDSM novels (and better done, IMO). At the same time I have to admire ELJames for cashing in like a boss.

Anyhoo, in my opinion, Discworld already has one of the best love stories in the world - Sybil and Vimes.

...(and better done, IMO)...

For the record, this was my point earlier.
I have nothing against "romance" novels, erotic or not.
Nor anything against BDSM, novel or not.
50 shades is just horribly written.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Pssst! Don't tell everyone

think of all the women out there who think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

[jtrhoades]

Yes, and Rebecca Black is "popular", doesn't make her, or it, any good.

I am genuinely tempted to go find a well written bdsm erotic novel, buy a few hundred copies in bulk, and offer a free copy in trade for a copy of 50 shades.

No, I didn't think you were slamming the genre as a whole. I just get rather tired of people (in general - not you) thinking 50 Shades is some incredibly new idea

I can recommend some very good BDSM novels should the mood take you :twisted:
