Some idiot was a fan of the emo whiner series “Twilight”, so they wrote a horrible fan fiction for it titled “Master of the Universe”.
It was initially “published” online.
Why should we care?
Because, it means that any sap with a poorly written fan fiction can con enough idiots into thinking it is ‘great work’ to the point that an idiotic movie is made about it.
Standards are crashing through the floor all over the place. Look at the tech sector exuberance leading up to Black Friday. Look at our politicians. Two words for you, Kim Kardashian. I mean come on, how much of our economic instability is caused by some flavor-of-the-day bending the ear of some elite who passes the news?
We have far bigger problems than the sorry state of chic lit. The good news is ALL of this stuff spells opportunity for those willing to do a better job and compete.
