50 Shades of Legal Fuck Ups
This is a two-parter. Choose your favourite half.
This all starts over on Fandom Lounge (sort of!), where it is revealed that author, Casea Major first made a novel based off 50 shades and just as we found out about this joy she removed all traces of it from the internet.
Why did she do it? Well, it may have something to do with how EL James (author of 50 Shades) recently cease and desisted someone's lingerie parties that were themed after her books.
Actual quote: EL James’ agent Valerie Hoskins said the legal letter was not personal, adding: “You can’t just hijack something someone else owns.”
Now we enter into the next phase!
Cleolinda tweets about it, because that's what Cleo does.
Enter: AJA
See, lately Aja's blogger for the Daily Dot.
Anyway, she decides to write an article and tweets Cleo about the article:
Cleo does not respond.
So Aja tweets again:
Wait, what's Cleo talking about? What official account? WELL. Included on Aja's post, was this screencap:
Sounds hilarious, right? It's a photoshop though. If only because if it HAD happened Cleo would have it bronzed on her wall. But that's okay, because Aja wouldn't claim a photoshop was rea--oh, she did. Because that's how you Journalism in Aja land.
I'm not being unkind, she actually admits it:
Okay, she admits it AFTER Cleo keeps asking her about it (read these bottom up):
If the image isn't working, she says this about how she factchecks: "you know i was afraid of that, i tried to find it yesterday too & didn't confirm before we went to press. should have asked you!"
As of this post, Aja has kept a link to the photoshop in case she can magically verify it.
