Midnight Kissy Bull dijo:^
And while we're on the subject of established writers doing fanfics, I'd like to point out that Cassandra Clare, author of the Mortal Instruments series--and all the flippin' spin offs she's planning--was a Big Name Fan in the Harry Potter fandom. In fact, the MI title itself and the plot was lifted from one of her HP fics (a lot of her detractors have stated that Clary = Ginny, Jace = Draco, Simon = Harry, etc.). There are also bits from her "Draco in Leather Pants" trilogy that were used in the MI books. If you Google long enough, you might find the whole trilogy in a handy zip file. Warning: the third book is a doozy.
That might explain why that movie looks like a piece of shit.
I guess the rules have changed. The tastes of the general public are so fucking bad, that any teenager who writes a Twilight or Harry Potter slash can eventually sell an actual series that other tweeners with terrible fucking taste will make a million seller.
I weep.
Edit: Oh geez, she's 40, it's so much worse...
