 "50 Shades of Grey author's Twitter Q&A goes horribly wrong as readers question her on rape and abuse")
In order to publicise her latest book from the “Fifty Shades” series, author EL James decided to hold an ‘ask me anything’ session on Twitter. However, things for her, did not go as planned. [caption id=“attachment_2076631” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Courtesy: Facebook[/caption] Along with the usual simple “what’s your favourite song” and “what do you like to do in your free time” questions there were a few she probably was not expecting. Twitter users saw this as the perfect opportunity to ask her some important questions, like calling out the author on her character Christian Grey’s stalker tendencies and the abusive relationship he shares with the protagonist Anastasia Steele. Most of the negative comments came from critics, former abuse victims and readers who object to the way in which the relationship between the characters is presented in the books. And things got bad very quickly.
#AskELJames Grey threatens to hit Ana for not eating, adding that it's not for his sexual gratification. Explain this threat of assault?

Sometimes Ana says no and Grey says BUT YES. That's rape. Sorry, that wasn't a question. #AskELJames

Did you know you can end a chapter without a character going to sleep? #AskELJames

Twitter came out in full support to those taking the author to task on her books.
Today E. L. James learned the valuable lesson that "A lot of people bought my work" is not the same as "Everyone likes me" #AskELJames
