Author of One Direction fan-fiction 'After': 'It's the vanilla version of 'Fifty Shades of Grey''

25-year-old author Anna Todd (shown left) has made a name for herself by writing a One Direction fan-fiction series called 'After', which has just been published in physical book form, and she opened up about the story in a new interview with E! News. 

Speaking about the narrative, which was inspired by 1D heartthrob Harry Styles, Todd explained that she included all the band's members in the story:

"Tessa is a girl in college. It's not me, but I've realised we have certain things in common. The male lead in the story just looks like Harry Styles, but he is in college, not in a band. All of the 1D boys are in the story. Liam [Payne] is Harry's stepbrother in the book. In the book Harry is Hardin, Louis [Tomlinson] is Logan, Liam is Landan, Niall [Horan] is Nate and Zayn [Malik] is Zedd....It's a love-hate thing between Harry and Tessa. They hate each other in the beginning and they fight and then they fall in love. She breaks down all of his walls. It's a very dramatic turn on. They are back and forth and up and down."

She went onto add that the book gets very steamy, but it's not as explicit as the erotic novel 'Fifty Shades Of Grey': "There are definitely sex scenes. There is no S&M. They are regular sex scenes, but very detailed. It's the vanilla version of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'!"

Paramount Pictures recently bought the rights to Todd's four-book franchise and the 'After' series generated over one billion views online.
