50 shades of grey

Fan fiction? No thanks, lets leave it for the proper authors out there.

.

Just sticking up for all the fanfic writers out there... It is usually kept on the internet, but this person decided to publish it for some reason. It's not all like that (although quite a bit is).

We're not all mental - that's all I'm saying.

The sheep is not a creature of the air.

fanfiction in a nutshell.

It does sometimes annoy me a bit though that all people ever seem to see with fanfiction is the smut and the porn. The majority of it really isnt like that. And now 50 shades has just given it even more of a bad name. After hearing that it was originally a fanfiction I then had loads of people quizzing me about the stuff that I write, even though Ive never written anything x-rated like that in my life people just assumed that I did cos of one example

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

These days, u don't need magazines. You can look stuff up on your phone. #fact

To an extent this is true yes, but some networks have blocks on anything is considers to be for an 18+ audience (gambling, the naughty stuff and believe it or not some perfectly acceptable dating sites).

Not impressed with censorship

It's interesting that people say the book is badly written. Maybe it's badly written in literacy terms, but it's obviously done a good enough job in a writing sense that makes it accessible to all and popular.

I don't think it's the quality of the writing that's got the interest somehow... some people don't really need that, I mean look how many read The Sun, the writing in that is terrible too.

It's easy to read though, no difficult words. You don't need any GCSEs.

It's the biggest selling book ever in the UK now. Was watching some documentary on 4OD about it. VERY NSFW though. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/sex-story-fifty-shades-of-grey/4od

Exactly, it's written as an easy read, but that doesn't mean it's also GOOD writing. :)

Of course. My last post sounded like I was in support of it when I couldn't care less.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
