I will tell you the real problem with Fifty Shades of Gray.

The problem is that the softcore Twilight BDSM fanfic has apparently outsold the softcore Lymond Chronicles BDSM fanfic. This is sad.

(I base this assertion regarding Kushiel's Dart's true nature on 1) general plot structure, and 2) there being dudes named "Piero" and "Strozzi" in close proximity in the fourth book.)

Oh, my god. Does this mean that market forces aren't always right?

HOW CAN THIS BEEEEE

Also, I would love the shit out of genderswapped Lymond BDSM fic, but I don't think the Kushiel books are it. Everyone adores Phedre/Imriel/Moirin too much.

Well, I don't think they're supposed to be Lymond. Just that he and Phillippa could plausibly be somewhere nearby, following the same basic geographical circuits as the protagonists, but getting into somewhat different sorts of adventures. The kind with more sexual shaming.
