It’s a Harry Potter fanfiction where Harry and some of the other characters are actually smart and had to rely on cleverness more than the mistakes of his enemies and sheer luck. It’s really well written. Personally I find it better than the original books.
If all the characters are written differently and that causes the story to go in a totally different direction, why not just call it something else at that point and then market it under a new title? Especially if the story is solid like you say.
Because it’s a fanfic entirely written using the world that Rowling setup in her original series. You can’t just publish something that heavily based on already published works.
50 shades never actually makes reference to twilight. So while Stephanie Meyer could possibly sue it isn’t the same thing as directly using the exact characters and locations. Harry’s name is right in the title
It’s still the same premise. Harry grows up as an orphan with his aunt and uncle after Voldemort killed his parents. Unaware of magic until he receives the letter from Hogwarts. On the train he meets Hermione and Ron who are not that different from the original, and in the end he has to face Voldemort who’s trying to steal the philosophers stone. So selling it as something else is probably not something the author could have gotten away with without legal trouble.
That defeats the entire purpose of fanfic, and would make the story as it is less interesting tbh. It’s the reimagining that makes MOR as interesting as it is.

Didn’t know that then, but now I do, and I agree with you.
50 shades of grey started as a twilight fanfic.

I didn’t realize the story followed the original that closely. Thank you for enlightening me.
