The Power of Fanfiction
Another author proves the fanfiction to published book to movie pipeline is real. Surprisingly, there have been many well-known series that were originally fanfiction. For instance, 50 Shades of Grey was Twilight fanfiction. After is another, developed from a Harry Styles fanfiction. Therefore, it is no secret that many writers find their success by starting with fanfiction.

Undeniably, The Love Hypothesis has been a huge sensation. It was on the New York Times Best Sellers List for 39 weeks. Hazelwood’s success continues as her recent novel, Love on the Brain, was an instant bestseller and has been on the list for four consecutive weeks. Of course, fans hoped for this book to get an adaptation, and as of this week, it looks like their wishes have come true!
