Hold up, I always thought James wrote the shitty fanfic, then rewrote so it wasn't a Twilight thing anymore. Curious as to the actual story.
Fifty Shades started out as a shitty Twilight fanfic (and I use that term loosely here), rather unfortunately named, Master of the Universe, while EL James was going under 'Snowqueens Icedragon,' and she changed some things around before publishing to prevent from getting sued for copyright.
(I use the term 'fanfic' loosely because she pretty much just ripped off Twilight, but replaced vampire references with badly-misinterpreted BDSM references)
I put more effort and care into my Pokemon fanart than EL James put into her shitty Twilight fanfic.
No, but you're on the money with your assumption, EL James writing the shitty fanfic, and then changing it to remove Twilight references before publishing is pretty much the actual story.
