50 shades of porn

Q: When does your novel become a legend?
A: When everyone in the literacy world wants to take the piss out of it!
I haven’t read 50 SHADES OF GREY. I wouldn’t, were it earth's final tablet. If you read it to me on my death-bed, I would die – instantly. I promise.
But it can't be rubbish, can it? Because it’s a bestseller.
This, however, I must, must read.
50 SHADES OF GRAVY.
To quote it’s strap:
Fortunately for Vanessa she is spared the need to become in any way interesting in her own right. Unable to resist her pedestrian beauty, half wittedness, bland spirit and slavish, dog like devotion, Gray admits he wants her on his own terms – covered in gravy.

Fifty Shades of Gravy is a tale that will obsess you, repossess your furniture and stay with you forever no matter how many eviction notices you serve it.
Thank God, the truth is among us.
Not just this one, either. But there are at least another a dozen like it – by 3 or 4 authors! What fun!
During my relatively short writing career – if you can call it a career – I have suffered a few bad reviews along with the mediocre ones. But to have so many people publicly write a piss-take of your novel, well that puts it up there with the classics.
Long may it continue.
