Attention m/m novelists

Yes, those of you with publishing contracts to sell m/m books starring OMCs - if you would care to render your opinion on something related.

A friend wants to know if you think repurposed slash fanfic could ever go as mainstream as 50 Shades has for het erotica (I don't know if she means any m/m or m/m erotica; you'd have to ask her, really). I'm not an author, so the opinion I gave isn't informed - do you all have any?

I have never seen that show. But I agree with you.
I do a ton of research whenever I've a question about an aspect of BDSM before I even write it. and that's what this author should have done. I wish someone pointed that out before even publishing. It wouldn't have taken much to change/re-write that aspect of the story and make it a bit more realistic.
