"But as my readers got to know me, and my friends started reading it, they were like, you are Tessa. You want to fill in the gaps in the story, figure out the home life of that guy in the background, re-write the endings that you don't like - or imagine what would happen, say, if you were going to college with your favorite boy band.Īfter is set at a small state college, where innocent heroine Tessa falls in with a wild crowd: tattooed bad boy Harry Styles (a fictional version of the real guy) and his One Direction bandmates, who serve as a backup cast of rowdy frat brothers - though author Anna Todd swears she's not Tessa herself.
And the first volume of After has just hit stores - but let's rewind a little, to those words, "fan fiction." I know, you're probably making a face right now, but bear with me.įan fiction is what happens when you love something - a TV show, a book, a movie - so much that you want to spend more time with it. But where Fifty Shades was inspired by the Twilight books, After is loosely based on real people: The British boy band One Direction. Much like Fifty Shades of Grey, After is an epic, erotic fan fiction that's being repackaged by a major publishing house. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
