Or as the women’s blog Jezebel said in its review of After – “ If you’ve ever wanted to bone Harry Styles, well, this is the novel for you.”Īfter a few months of observing the fan fiction world, where people post fictional stories about celebrities, television shows or movies, she decided to jump in and try her hand at a One Direction story with the same erotic tone as 50 Shades of Grey – the wildly succesful franchise born from EL James’s Twilight fan fiction. This fictional world allows fans like herself to hang out with celebrities or fictional characters “on the side”.
“I think it stems off of everyone wants more of something.”įor Todd, the allure of fan fiction is a practical one: she, as a married 25-year-old in Texas, is extremely unlikely to have a dalliance with any of the internationally famous pop stars. “Being in a fandom is something you don’t understand unless you’re in one,” said Todd. The pair married at 18, and while her husband was building his army career, Todd toiled at odd jobs and community college since she couldn’t afford a four-year university. Todd said that her husband still does not really understand that world, but is happy that she has a venture of her own. While she says her family does not believe that she has made a career out of her hobby, and only her close friends know about her online celebrity ( 203,000 Twitter followers), the site she publishes on, WattPad, says Todd’s stories have had more than 800m reads. “But right now it’s so crazy I don’t really know what’s going on.” “Maybe in six months, or something, I’ll process it,” Todd told the Guardian. Then there is the deal with Paramount, which just purchased screen rights to the series. Three further books will follow from now until February 2015.
The print version of Todd’s fan fiction will be released on Tuesday.
