Eine grossartige Idee war das, was die britischen Verleger des neusten «Fifty Shades of Grey»-Romans hatten: Ein Q&A auf Twitter – Autorin E. L. James beantwortet höchstpersönlich Fragen der Fans. Das Hashtag #AskELJames wurde eingerichtet und los ging es.
Mon 29 Jun at 6pm UK time, @E_L_James will be doing a live chat with @TwitterBooks. Use #AskELJames to ask a question pic.twitter.com/Ixu9fPo31v

Bloss hatte man offenbar nicht daran gedacht, dass solche Fragen kommen könnten:
Which do you hate more, women or the English language? #AskELJames
— Ian Robinson (@eyeswideshut75) June 29, 2015
Ziemlich viele solche Fragen.
#AskELJames Is it only ok for Christian to stalk, coerce, threaten & manipulate Ana because he's hot, or is it also ok because he's rich?

Do you ever feel guilty that you made so much money from romanticizing sexual abuse and selling it as "erotica romance"? #AskELJames
— Melanin Monroe (@Jherane_) June 29, 2015
Eigentlich fast nur solche Fragen.
#AskELJames I need advice on making a BIG romantic gesture. Should I put a GPS tracker in her phone and make threats if she tries to leave?

Is there a safe word we can use to get you to stop writing such drivel?

Und überhaupt:
#AskELJames after the success of "Grey," have you considered re-telling the story from the perspective of someone who can write
— Andrew Vestal (@avestal) June 29, 2015
Aua.
#AskELJames What's your favourite shade out of the 50? Is there a chance that more shades will be added?

How on earth did Ana manage to graduate from university in the 21st century without an email address or a laptop? #AskELJames

Did you see the abusive relationship of Bella and Edward and think "hmm needs more abuse" #AskELJames
— R_chelCh_rlt_nD_iley (@RachelCDailey) June 29, 2015
Nein, so war's eigentlich nicht gedacht.
#AskELJames Do all these negative tweets sent to you seem abusive to you? I think it's romantic enough to be turned into a novel!

#AskELJames Are you getting tendinitis from having to hit "block" so often :(
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWritesStuff) June 29, 2015
I'd rather #AskELJames's publicist why they thought this was going to be a good idea.
— Jenny Trout (@Jenny_Trout) June 29, 2015
#AskELJames if E.L.James asks for these tweets to stop, does that mean she really wants them to continue?
— Johnny Quid. (@Steelnicks) June 30, 2015
Tja, so ungefähr ging das ab für die arme E. L. James:
