I don't know how this "publishing" stuff works. It's not a fluke that something like twilight catches on. It's not as if a small community of readers spread the word and it "caught up". it was hyped hard before anyone bought it. that's what ticks me off the most.

there's some great and fun writing out there which get very little fanfair. then there's this trash.

women are not buying this trash cause it's good, they are buying it for the same reason they by everythign else - someone tells them to. It's not even that it depitcs BDSM badly, Anne rice's books do that as well - it's just that as a book its utter crap.
