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.

    • Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.
    • I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience. 
    • Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?
    • Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different. 
    • They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.
    • Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.
    • Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.
    • Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.
    • No chart show on the 24th May because of Big Weekend.
    • How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?
    • I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.
    • Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover? 
    • Connor Coates is in for Charlie Hedges on Saturday 18th May. Kerrie Cosh is in for Jess on Sunday 19th May.
    • But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.
    • Yellowcard. Simple Plan. Obie Trice.
