Do you think Tess of the d'Urberville is the most thoughtful choice as a gift? Cryptic quotes about dangerous men in the present as a card? That's romance!
Everyone Loves Ana Even Though She's Terrible.
In this episode we will see the budding of a narcissist and a sociopath. Fifty shades did something very wrong in how they plagiarised this story. In the chapter recap you can see those who are lacking empathy... but with Master of The Universe it is different. Why would anyone take Stephenie Meyer’s characters and change them into monsters for a quick buck? I don't know! I sure hope we are getting to the sexy soon. Isn't this breaking the law of romance? Oh yeah, I forgot which author we are talking about. Laws be dammed!
I had genuine problems with this one... you can hear the problem in the form of gun shots and fireworks... still going on here. The volume is a bit too starting off but evens out.

The follow up extra about these topics to come shortly. Sorry for the wait!

Today I am reading chapter three of Jenny Trout's “I read Fifty Shades Of Grey So You Don't Have To Accidents Get Me Squirrley in the pants.”
Chapter Four of Master of the Universe, the Twilight Fan Fic version of Fifty Shades of Grey.
The difference in the hardware/camping gear interaction with Bella and Edward is striking.

This is a re-recording of the prior more verbose episode. I read Jenny Trout's Chapter Recaps of the Book Fifty Shades Of Grey: Shopping for a Serial Killer's birthday. After that are two chapters of Master of the Universe.
A few disclaimers.
1. I am reading verbatim from printouts of both I Read Fifty Shades Of Grey So You Don't Have to. There aren't many typos or grammar problems, but MOTU is another story! If I corrected the terrible grammar and typos, the context of this entire podcast would go out the window.

2. This is important I AM NOT PRO E.L. JAMES OR FIFTY SHADES OF GREY. I REPEAT THIS DISCLAIMER MANY TIMES. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.

3. Though I believe the Shades books to be perfect examples of what intimate partner abuse looks like; I am happy to debate as long as the person I am debating with has listened, read Twilight, and probably have read all the shades books bonus if you've seen the movies. Facts matter. These days it's hard to sort out these things, yet I can disagree without disagreeable. I won't tolerate disrespect.
My blog www.KatyShaw.com will have some links and the picture of the Chedward tie on it.
Also, if you have input, you'd like to chime in with, please do..
The last side note. Please don't expect perfection. I'm working on it. If you like it, please share it! I am a broke author sheltering in place. I need as much help as I can get.

That said, enjoy Snowqueen's Icedragon literature classic, Master of The Universe, and Jenny Trout's I Read Fifty Shades of Grey So you don't have to.
Be safe!
XoXo!

Chapter One of Master Of The Universe, the original Fifty Shades by E.L. James or as first published on fanfiction.net, Snowqueens Icedragon.

Also, Chapter one of Jenny Trout’s I read fifty shades of grey so you don’t have to.

Warning MOTU and Fifty Shades Of Grey... as written by Erika Leonard aka E.L James are chalked full of Britishisms. I am not a perfect orator, not even close with all of the Britishisms and overloading adverbs. I do my best and I should get better over time. No haters.

Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight related... Jenny Trout owns the shades recaps. No copyright infringement intended.

There may be triggering moments as I get into the books... I will try to give a heads up.
