The book I am reviewing is Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, which began life as a Twilight fan fiction called "Master of the Universe" by Snowqueen's Icedragon. I want to focus on the phenomenon of how something so derivative of another author's work could be reincarnated as a published book of its own, and also how erotica e-book sales are growing so rapidly because people can read them on gadgets, and not be embarrassed by risque cover art.
As far as publication goes, I would either play up the pop culture aspect of it, and submit it to something similar to but less prestigious than the Onion AV Club, or I could track down local readers and interview them, and turn it into a human interest profile piece. I am still looking into my options.
