Apparently someone did a side by side comparison, and found the two works to be only 88% similar. That aside, the original is unquestionably fanfiction. We can't touch 50 Shades, but we could go after this. (And for the record, someone has a claim on it already.)
Just popping in to report this fic, which... How do I even begin to describe it? It's Zutara, in the Legend of Korra verse, and I'm pretty sure it's a troll based on the prose, but it's also written very much along the lines of Agony in Pink (it just has that same... vibe?) that I felt that it had to be brought to the PPC's attention.
The imagery is... weird enough that I think it could be missioned, at least.
Anyway, obvious warning for NSFW and NSFB.
Y'know, the one 50 Shades of Grey is based on? It's definitely infamous enough, and bad enough. Supposedly it had been removed from the internet but I found it here
Unfortunately, some editor was drunk/high enough for making it an original work once the names were changed.

You have a claim on that? :D This is going to be awesome. I look forward to the mission!

Scape was definitely not the person I was talking about. Unless me and Scape are actually the same person. I even made sure I was listed on the Claimed Badfic page on the wiki.
That would be me misreading things--I saw you write that "someone" already has a claim on it, and then Scape waved, so I assumed it was her. I didn't check the wiki. Whoops!
Well, no matter who does it, I'm still excited. I've read sporkings of the published version, and while I know there weren't that many changes made, I'm curious to see what would come up in a mission that's similar or different to the 50 Shades sporkings. I bet the creepiness and the research fail are the same...

...But I've read exactly 0 Avatar fics. Does it pass the Google Test? (2 hits of people groaning about how bad it is on the first 2 pages of results over the past year, with the fic being 5 years old?) That said, the very idea of Zutara in a Korra setting is somewhat disturbing in itself.
But it's pretty Bleep-worthy especially to the people who weren't actually expecting to find this when they had jokingly suggested trying to find old!Zutara fics.

Bleepfic, though? Ehhh... I mean, I could see classifying it as such, but the imagery is so over-the-top it was more a mild squick for me, which is kinda weird.
