Fifty Shades of Pink: a parody of submission
Anastasia Steele is the mega-successful CEO who longs to play the wilting damsel to a hard-bodied guy who drinks blood, runs with the wolves, or at the very least harbors a dark and violent secret.
As luck and market capitalization would have it, Anastasia is in a position to get exactly what she wants, in whatever color she wants it.
In the process, 22-year-old college student Christian Grey will discover the limits of what a man can endure for love.
It's an erotic tale of a man's contractual odyssey at the hands of a woman whose fantasies are steeped and brewed in the conventions of popular romance, where the women are as fragile as teacups, the men are brooding and possessive - and everyone has amazing hair.

I've read you long enough now to realize that you write much better than the author of that other novel - so bring it on.

Parody, of course, is much easier than starting from scratch. It's like making a cheese sandwich after somebody else has already left the cheese sitting out for you.
i.e., Christian Grey on the similarities between cheese and sadomasochism:
"Why is anyone the way they are? That's hard to answer. Why do some people like cheese and other people hate it? Do you like cheese?"

Totally begging for it! Start working on the sequels -- I can tell this will be a big hit.

Sure, a sequel. Because who doesn't like cheese?

It's a Rick McCawley. I have him booked for my next 10 books, nine of which I will probably never finish. But the covers will be amazing.

Wait... um... what? I don't understand - cheese is a safe word?
Have you told Wisconsin?

Cheese is the ultimate safe word. So civilized and polite. Like Wisconsin.
