David Quantick*, in Sex Story: Fifty Shades of Grey on fanfiction:
"The amazing thing about these books, which is sort of played down - which I think is wrong - is that they've come out of fan adoration. They've come out of the internet - they've come out of this big morass of supposed lack of talent and lack of imagination. It's a fantastic leap of imagination to go from reading someone else's books to creating a completely different world."
