Welcome, welcome! This is Project MofU, or Project Master of the Universe. A rehost/repost of the super-infaously-well-known fanfic that would become, in 2011, the Fifty Shades novel series.

Master of the Universe was posted on FanFiction.Net, since 2009 until 2011, by Erika Mitchell under the pseudonym Snowqueens Icedragon, as a Bedward (Edward Cullen/Bella Swan) AU fanfic with touches of BDSM. Before it was taked down by the author, it had over 56,000 reviews, making it one of the most reviewed fanfics on FFNet in 2011.According to Lord Kelvin in "FFN in Numbers".

Icy (as Erika called herself in author notes) announced on March 5, 2011That'd be chapter 112 or 25, depending if you count them by the fic as a whole or by parts. that she was offered, by The Writer's Coffee Shop, to publish this "beast" and of course she accepted. The first part of the fic was divided in two and were published in May and October, respectively of the same year. It wasn't until April 2012 that the third book (being the second part of the fic) was published. By that time, Erika had erased most traces of the fic off the internet, specially by contantig Archive.Org and making them to delete all archived version of her websitehttps://www.eljamesauthor.com/, formely http://www.50shades.com/ prior to the published books, the fic itself posted in FFNet and her FFNet account. She also asked to make it impossible to archive using the Wayback Machine."The Lost History of Fifty Shades of Grey"

Also, the connection between the fic and the book tried to be murkied away, both by Erika Mitchell and her publisher, Vintage, at somepoint. That was not precisely kindly receveid by a lot of folks, and both texts were compared side-by-side.Here the amazing job done by Jane Litte at the Dear Author website. The truth (that every fan of the fic, and even haters of it, already knew) came to light and it was not longer undeniable: Master of the Universe and Fifty Shades are one and the same.

Safe Haven

Before Master of the Universe, there was Safe Haven, a fanfic from Edward Cullen's POV. He's a famous actor, and Bella is the hotel service maid that works at the hotel he's staying in.

It's twenty-six chapters long.

The summary:

Edward Cullen is filming his new movie in Las Vegas. His only solace is Bella, who lives and works in the luxury hotel he is staying. But is she all she seems EXPLICIT Adult content

Two options to read:⊕ Both options don't have the author notes, what a tragedy. Tho, I mean, it's less work for me.

• In this website. (There's a table of content, do not worry.)
• A downloadable PDF version, made by Who-Knows-Who, that has been circulating online for maybe too long. It's the only copy (as in, the only version) that I could find. Probably the only one made and the reason why this fic existence is even known.
