* ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' is an interesting case, being an AscendedFanfic rather than an official adaptation. It all started with a dream Stephenie Meyer had, which inspired ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', which was adapted into a film series. That inspired an erotic fan fiction by E. L. James, which became a novel series, which got adapted into its own film series. Then ''that'' inspired [[Film/BookClub a romantic comedy]] with its own sequel in the works. ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' also heavily influenced ''Literature/ThreeHundredSixtyFiveDays'', a trilogy of erotic romance novels published by Polish author Blanka Lipińska which contains the same themes and concepts, in addition to being [[Film/ThreeHundredSixtyFiveDays adapted to the big screen]].
