Thirty-Seven Hues of Taupe

[wisteria_]

Maybe my summer project should be to take one of my old fics, run a find/replace on all the character names, and publish it. The smuttier, the better, even though I've never been all that great at smut. Who cares if it's any good? Then I could make a ton of money and never have to worry about whether I'll get laid off from my job (like I am right

At least Cassie Clare seriously reworked the Draco trilogy before publishing it as her Mortal Instruments series. Although the plagiarism involved makes it a wash. . . .

Heh, I've seriously been thinking about doing the same thing. I read two or three chapters of 50 Shades on Amazon, and it was brutal. Awful. I just can't get over its popularity, smut or no smut. It's got the Twilight magic...even if it's black magic.

I hope everything works out with your job, honey. xoxoxo

Hope everything works out your job. I know how tough it can be when you're worried about that. ::HUGS::

I did take it as inspiration, figuring if anything that awful could do so well, there was no excuse for me. So, I'm working on a mainstream book.

Although I always thought I should do something with my old stuff.

Seriously, I don't get it. I can't even. It just pisses me off when I see so many awesome fanfic writers who deserve to be published and instead this awful thing does and it becomes a best-seller! What's wrong with the world?
