It's rather more easy to adopt all those into something else than it is Fifty Shades of Grey, which focuses solely on BDSM, and the relationship between a man who dominates women because he hates his mother, and a woman who gives into him.

I should hope not either. The only thing 50 Shades of Grey should be a member of is a cemetery.

Imagine if 50 shades was adapted into a shonen with BSDM themed attacks that the inaccuracy of such was constantly lampshaded......

@181781: You know, I've never actually heard a plot summary before. The man could theoretically be turned into the villain rather than the Designated Hero he is now, with his victim coming out on top in the end. It wouldn't be the first time they changed the story to make someone else win.

I don't want 50 Shades in the DAC, obviously, but it would be an interesting challenge for a writer...

I swear my mind works like a shonen sometimes.

Like, doing cheesy shonen style speeches in my head actually helps me deal with stuff.

....I don't even usually watch or read shonen, but hey

Like, I get a successive stream of OCD worries that serve as the "opponents" and i get my ass kicked and then i come back with a new thought that i'm able to hit their weak spot with, then they die but new ones come in.

...I'm actually tempted to take that challenge now. Rewriting it to where it's actually decent and making it to where the most disgusting character no longer gets away with his actions in a believable manner.

[up][up]Basically, you want to write Rational 50 Shades.

When you eat pizza by the slice you gotta fold it. It's the only proper way to eat the stuff.

It's not defilement; it's deep dish, so you sort of need a fork. The guy on the Travel Channel said it was made that way so that people could have a good and filling pizza dinner even in the wintertime.

What Chicago has is not pizza. Though admittedly quite tasty calling that thing pizza is heresy

I'll just go over here and have a chicken burger.

I'm told that authentic Italian pizza in Italy is on a thin, crispy crust, might not have cheese, and is more of a snack than a meal.
