 Re: The O/T thread! Started out as very sexually explicit fan-fiction based on the "Twilight" series. However, it's gone viral and is now outselling everything everywhere, largely on account of its racy porn content that is aimed at ladies, which they can buy online for their e-readers without anyone knowing what they're up to (apart from the world's biggest surveillance device that is the internet, of course). Over 200,000 copies sold in the last week means that the writer is now a very rich and influential person indeed! All this coming at a time when bookshop sales are collapsing and the publishing trade is very-very nervous indeed. BBC article hereWikipedia article here

Yes this phrase has been much banded about - I can't quite decide if it means porn involving 'mommies' or porn read by 'mommies.' Either way I'm not literary aroused. Certainly the Private Eye review didn't make much of its literary content ...

Re: The O/T thread! My missus has read it and is on the second book. It's basically no different to the mucky literature you'll find in any backstreet garage toilet.

Wonder if they'll mention the best Bond car of them all? Turns out that they will.   Best day out ever. Top Gear crew are the most welcoming and personable people you could wish to meet and made us feel at home. Had a good rummage through their production office and found Richard Hammond to be really enthusiastic and interesting to chat to.
