   	Even more, Twilight started as a Harry Potter fanfic. And Fifty Shades   
   started as a Twilight fanfic. So in essence Fifty Shades is fanfic of   
   Potterfic.

   	If I'm getting that much money, I don't care. I can salve the   
   occasional scornful looks by diving into the money bin and swimming   
   around in it.

   publish my fanfic.
