<P> James says the idea for the Fifty Shades trilogy began as a response to the vampire novel series Twilight . In late 2008 James saw the movie Twilight , and then became intensely absorbed with the novels that the movie was based on . She read the novels several times over in a period of a few days , and then , for the first time in her life , sat down to write a book : basically a sequel to the Twilight novels . Between January and August 2009 she wrote two such books in quick succession . She says she then discovered the phenomenon of fan fiction , and this inspired her to publish her novels as Kindle books under the pen name `` Snowqueens Icedragon '' . Beginning in August 2009 she then began to write the Fifty Shades books . </P>
