I know I said I ended this but I was reading the story again and there are somethings I would have liked to explained better or gone into more detail about. Also I found out that this story won Steamiest Story in the 2015 Fan Forum awards so I will post a few bounus chapters as a thank you. I now present to you the bonus chapters of The Fan Fiction Reaction.
First up is 50 shades of Sheldon. When I first started writing there was a spoiler out that Sheldon had read the book. So I put it in the story but the line never made it to air. Sheldon mentions 50 shades a couple times. So here is the explanation of how he got his hands on it.
Sheldon sits in Penny's apartment waiting for her to finish getting ready to take him to the grocery store. Leonard was busy at the lab, and he would have asked Amy to take him but she was having her monthly visit with her mother. Penny had told him to come over at noon, but when Sheldon had knocked on Penny's door she had not even gotten out of bed yet. He would have gone back to his apartment to wait. But he would then run the risk of Penny falling back asleep, and his shopping trip would be delayed even further. Sitting in her chair he peruses the selection of books and magazines on the coffee table.
"Cosmopolitan, ten tips to satisfy your man. No thank you. Self, ten steps to a healthier you. Tempting but it being a women's magazine it is probably just yoga and yogurt. Fifty Shades of Grey? I wonder if Penny is thinking of repainting her apartment?" He muses, picking up the book and opening it up. As he starts reading he quickly realizes that this is not a painting manual. However he does not stop reading. Speed reading being one of his gifts he is seven chapters in by the time Penny emerges from her bedroom.
"Oh my god Sheldon! Why are you reading that?" Penny exclaims.
"You were taking a long time and I did not care about ten steps to a healthier you in Self, or ten ways to satisfy your man in Cosmopolitan."
"Well, you are coming close to ten tips to satisfy your man reading that. "
"To be fair I thought it was a painting manual when I first picked it up."
"Two things." Penny sighs. "First you thought that a painting manual would be more interesting than Cosmo, and second after you realized what it was why didn't you just put it down?"
"To answer your first question in what world isn't a painting manual more interesting than the drivel in Cosmo magazine? As to your second question it took me a chapter or two to get a handle on what the book was about. Now I am too deep in and I have to finish it. I never start anything that I did not intend to finish. "
"Well I will let you borrow it sometime." Penny groans "Come on let's go."
"I am already at chapter seven if I take it with us I can have it finished by tonight. I mean the language is so simplistic it is almost as if was written by a fourth grader. I mean explicit content aside, it could have been. Listen to this excerpt "his eyes burn with curiosity. He is anxious to know. Wow." He says rolling his eyes.
"Well no one said it was great literature. You are not going to take the book shopping with you are you?"
"Yes I am, how else will I finish it?"
"Fine! Come on let's go!" Penny groans as they head out the door and down the staircase. Sheldon follows still reading the book."
"Penny what does it mean when the author refers to Ana's inner goddess?"
"Her inner goddess is like the voice inside her head."
"A voice in her head would make more sense. This woman is having paranoid delusions. Paranoid delusions no doubt brought on by the abuse she has suffered at the hands of this Christian Grey."
"I like the book. It was hot." Penny says. "It's one of the few books I have ever been able to finish."
"Yes you would like it. I am just glad Amy does not waste her time on drivel like this. Amy would never read something so salacious."
"Oh really? You think Amy is has better taste than to read that book?"
"Yes, her mind is too highly evolved to ever waste its time on trash like this. Amy has read works by all the great literary masters why would she ever stoop to this?" He says holding the book up.
"That is Amy's book." Penny tells him smirking and Sheldon does a double take.
"What?" He asks.
"Amy read it first and told me I would like it and brought it over for me to read. I mean I was skeptical because she also tried to get me to Pride and Prejudice and that book was bor-ing." Penny tells him pretending to yawn.
"So Amy has read all about Christian and Ana and their sexcapades around Seattle?"
"Yep."
"What did she say about it?"
"That it was hot and that I would like it."
"Interesting..." Sheldon says putting the book in his messenger bag as they pull into the grocery store parking lot.
"Oh thank god! I thought you were going to walk around the store reading that."
"No I think I have read enough for now." He says quietly.

When Sheldon gets home he goes immediately to his bedroom and shuts the door. He pulls the book out of his bag and quickly finishes the entire thing. When he finishes he tosses it on the floor as if it has burned him. He stares at it laying there, its spine up and its pages spread like it is some sort of wild creature in his room. Finally it bothers him too much to see it there, he picks it up and he carries it over to his nightstand as if it is a dirty diaper and he tosses it into his bedside table drawer.
Is that what Amy wanted from him? Did Amy want him to tie her up and have his way with her? He did not have it in him. He did not think himself capable of the acts described in the book Leonard and Penny had bought for him, let alone the crazy escapades described in this book.
Even what the author had described as vanilla sex seemed awfully spicy to him. Did Amy want to be ravished and impaled. Did she want to be whipped, flogged, spanked?
Well he had spanked her before, and that had not been so bad. He feels himself growing uncomfortably hot as he recalls her softly murmured "Oh my!" As his hand had connected with her flesh, had he unwittingly given her the best night of her life? Her various other pleas and demands now flit in and out of his brain.
"Kiss me where I have never been kissed before."
"One night of torrid love making that soothes my soul and inflames my loins."
"What would it take for you to buy a bottle of hooch, take me across the street and have your way with me?"
He had done his best to stymy her burgeoning interest in carnal love... Apparently to no avail. While recently he had thought the subject had been dropped, in fact It had been just pinned. Sex and all its glories were still very much front and center in her mind. Instead of trying to cajole him into it, it seemed that she was finding other outlets.
It should make him feel better that the pressure was off... If it did not also make him feel so terribly jealous. Amy was his, and the thought if her getting all hot and bothered thinking about this made up egotistical borderline psychotic billionaire was disturbing.
The only one getting Amy all hot and bothered should be him. Only he did not want that. Did he? He was above seeking the pleasures of the flesh. Or was he?
Some of what was described in the book was disturbing and made him feel squeamish. While other parts had peaked his interest highly. Especially when he substituted the name Amy for Ana. When he pictured it was him that was making her inner goddess tango, whatever that really meant. Maybe he did have an interest in trying to satisfy her carnally after all. He wished there were a text similar to the one he had just read of Penny's only about he could satisfy Amy.
Maybe if he knew exactly what Amy expected of him. The precise sequencing of events up to and leading to coitus then he could entertain the idea of having it with Amy.
