Okay, that opening paragraph was hilarious:
I growl with frustration at my reflection in the mirror. Damn my hair – it’s fifty shades of fucked up. The situation I’m in is fifty shades of fucked up. I’m supposed to be studying for my finals; my roommate, Kathleen, should be the one fussing with her hair in front of the mirror right now. Instead, I’m trying to brush my hair into submission. Why is my hair so kinky? I need to stop sleeping with it wet, because it alway...more
This is a hilarious short read. Thanks GR friends for the recommendation. While I have not read the Fifty Shades series which this book parodies, I have read Twilight and saw some connections to that book. I think I even saw a small parody of Steve Jobs when Anna asks the bazillionaire Gray about being adopted. In truth, you don't need to read either to enjoy the crazy humor. It r...more
What was the best thing to come out of the Fifty Shades Trilogy???? This parody.
I’m quite convinced that Andrew Shaffer is my soul mate – move over husband, Andrew now holds my heart firmly in his very long fingers.
Although I am slightly disappointed that Anna’s inner Goddess didn’t get a mention. In true parody fashion I would have expected that line to be used in every paragraph – much like the original Fifty Shades book....however it wouldn’t surprise me if a copyright was now on those word...more
With an opening sentence like this: 'I growl with frustration at my reflection in the mirror. Damn my hair – it’s fifty shades of fucked up. The situation I’m in is fifty shades of fucked up', you know you're in for a good time reading.
Update: SO happy for Andrew!! http://www...more

I don't know how I feel about this. But it would be hilarious if E.L. James tried to sue him over it lol.

Ha! That's funny. Hee. Hee hee. Heeee. Hahaha. Is the whole building made with the same materials? HAHAHAHAHA! Ahhh, that was a good one. He's the kind of guy you want to write fanfic about. Haaa aah aah ah-hah ah-hah ah-hahahaha. Oh, I'm going to enjoy this....more
This only parodies the first 3 chapters so far...and it's pretty amusing. With opening lines like:
'Damn my hair – it’s fifty shades of fucked up. The situation I’m in is fifty shades of fucked up'
Hits the nail right on the head, don't ya think? The author even plays up to the fact that the other 50 is extreme...more
Now, I have to come clean and admit to really enjoying the original 'Fifty Shades' but this was too funny to pass up.
Memorable quotes that had me busting a gut:
“My shift isn’t over until six,” I say glumly. “Hold on,” he says. He pulls a Blackberry from his coat pocket and taps out a text. It buzzes….. “I’m your boss, Anna.”
“What do you mean?” There’s that smile again, the one with all those teeth. “I just bought Walmart,”
Chris has a helicopter waiting for us in the...more

“I’m your boss, Anna.”

There’s that smile again, the one with all those teeth. “I just bought Walmart,” he says.'

This parody of the awful Fifty Shades trilogy is G-E-N-I-U-S.
This parody isn't just mad funny--IT'S CRAZILY HILARIOUS!!
I got hooked from its first words:I growl with frustration at my reflection in the mirror. Damn my hair – it’s fifty shades of fucked up. The situation I’m in is fifty shades of fucked up.
I'M STILL LAUGHING!! WHY I AM STILL LAUGHING!! HA . .. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Andrew Shaffer, you made my day, if not my entire LIFE.

Sorry, Andrew Shaffer - you've lost points because you decided to join this bandwagon and sell your parody. I feel lied to, and that you sold out.

This had me laughing out loud! Oh my gosh, whether you've read Fifty or not, Fifty-One is hysterical!

My favorite quotes:
'HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SPARKLY VAMPIRES IS HE HOT!'
'I have hobbies,” he says, smirking. “Physical pursuits: Base-jumping, hang-gliding, underwater basket-weaving.'

I think this whole thing is summed up with this sentence: 'We step into the helicopter’s cockpit and he takes control of the controls like the controlling man he is.'
That writing, while mocking FSoG, is far superior to anything I read from the original fanfic.
I will continue to read this parody - I was highly entertained.

Andrew Shaffer talks about a very different Edward aka Chris Grey and Ana Steal in this comical version of Fifty Shades of Grey!
Fans of the series should definitely give it a try.
Quite entertaining and I'll be on the lookout for his soon to be published book - Fifty Shames of Earl Grey.
I’m trying to brush my hair into Submission.
Why is my hair so Kinky?
Oh how I enjoyed this little treasure. This parody has so much potential, and I want more! I hope it's not a joke that the author is releasing a longer version called 'Fifty Shames of Earl Gray'.
Tongue-in-Cheeks, for sure ;) This is the dirty-parody version of the dirty-fan-fiction version of the YA phenom Twilight... This little ebook is charming and clever. I definitely snorted in the first chapter. It was welcome catha...more
He raises an eyebrow.
“I mean, not that I exclusively like black men,” I say, trying to recover. “I like other kinds of tea. And men.”
“Have you ever tasted...white tea, Anna?”
Let me guess: When you sat down and got comfortable to read Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James, your first thought after…finishing…was, “You know what I really want? This book from the Christian’s point-of-view!” Well, Fifty Shades fans, you’re getting your deepest, darkest desire in E.L. James’ new Fifty Shades of Grey book, Darker. (click the link to check it out!)
Darker, Christian’s take on the events of Fifty Shades Darker will hit (literally, but consensually) bookshelves and digital libraries everywhere November 28, 2017. Grey, the original Fifty Shades book written from the perspective of Mr. Grey, was published in 2015 and fans have been “clamoring for a continuation of the series.” And frankly, fans deserve the release. It’s not polite to tease.
“This new book is full of surprises,” said Anne Messitte, Publisher of Vintage/Anchor Books, “Readers are going to see a darker and more haunted version of Christian’s character. Fans of the series will have much to discover and even more to discuss.” Are we going to find out Christian is actually fifty-one shades of fucked up and we’ve been lied to this entire time? #PleaseTellMeMore #Riveting #FakeNews.
If you need a reminder, Fifty Shades Darker chronicles the reunion of Christian and Ana, while they deal with Christian’s former Dominant and his shaky past that has made him the controlling and closed-off man he is today. Going along with this pattern, it can be assumed that we’ll get Fifty Shades Freed from Christian’s POV as well. James really knows how to give it deeper and darker.
Here’s what Amazon has for the listing:
“Their scorching, sensual affair ended in heartbreak and recrimination, but Christian Grey cannot get Anastasia Steele out of his mind, or his blood. Determined to win her back, he tries to suppress his darkest desires and his need for complete control, and to love Ana on her own terms. But the horrors of his childhood still haunt him, and Ana’s scheming boss, Jack Hyde, clearly wants her for himself. Can Christian’s confidant and therapist, Dr. Flynn, help him face down his demons? Or will the possessiveness of Elena, his seducer, and the deranged devotion of Leila, his former submissive, drag Christian down into the past? And if Christian does win Ana back, can a man so dark and damaged ever hope to keep her?”
Christian does have a horrendous past and more detail about his experiences and fighting his feelings for Ana does promise to be a compelling read. “The inside of Christian Grey’s head is a fascinating place to be,” said James in the official press release for Darker. And if that’s your toy of choice, no judgment. You do you.
