D: Damn, weepingcock really went the way of fanficrants and marysues, didn't it? I haven't followed it in ages but I'm sad to hear that.
That's a good way to describe it. It just wasn't fun anymore. :/
I was actually referring to Twilight copycats (I don't think 50 Shades has as much yet, and so far not nearly as disturbing as the Twilight clones), but 50 Shades is also part of the rant. :P Trashy fantasies and dysfunctional relationships are perfectly a-okay as long as we distinguish between fantasy and reality, but unfortunately, people like Stephanie Meyer and E.L. James truly do believe that their romantic heroes are perfect and that men should be more like them. :(
