E.L. James, where do you get this stuff?

We're going to quickly discuss the prologue to Fifty Shades Darker.


OHHHH poor fucked-up, kinky, philanthropic, Christian. What a sad little child you were. 


Again, Christian's horrific past filled with cigarette wielding pimps and crack whores is a way for E.L. James to add depth.  




This ain't your granma's soft porn.




Many writers use the device of switching points of view within the narrative to create a far more complex and informative story. Many writers use this style quite effectively.


Guess who doesn't?


Writing from Christian's point of view, E.L. James provides us with an intimate look at baby Grey's extremely grim childhood. The prologue is basically Christian describing the pimp entering his house, beating his mom and then presumably burning Christian with his cigarettes. 


Again, I understand (and by understand, I mean I don't) that E.L. James wants to deepen this story, but this is TWILIGHT FAN FICTION. WHY WASTE YOUR TIME??? You think writing part of a graphic BDSM soft porn novel from a CHILD'S point of view is OKAY in any part of this GALAXY???? No matter how hard you try, this is not going to be the next Great Gatsby. You're making money because it's controversial and LET'S CALL A SPADE A SPADE, 


IT
IS
PORN.

DAMMIT.


I'm done.
