James terpaksa berhadapan dengan soalan sinikal daripada peminat.
Tatkala pengarang 50 Shades of Grey, EL James mengumumkan akan membuat satu sesi soal jawab di Twitter, dia tentunya tidak menyangka tindakan itu akan membawa 'padah' kepada dirinya sendiri.
James menjadualkan sesi soal jawab dengan peminat pada Isnin dan respon yang diterima memang baik, dan banyak soalan diajukan kepadanya.
Namun apa yang mencuit hati adalah bentuk soalan yang diterima penulis berusia 52 tahun itu.
Banyak soalan yang membanjiri Twitter dengan hashtag #AskElJames, seolah-olah menyindir penulis itu serta karyanya.

#AskELJames What's your favourite shade out of the 50? Is there a chance that more shades will be added?

Ada juga yang mengaitkan penulis siri Twilight, Stephenie Meyer dalam soalan mereka.

Do you intend to mold your body with Stephanie Meyer? Or just make a suit out of her skin? #AskELJames

Hubungan kedua-duanya menjadi kurang baik selepas Meyer memberitahu media karya James "terlalu kotor" untuk menjadi bahan bacaannya.
James kini dalam rangka promosi novel terbaharunya, Grey. Ia menampilkan jalan cerita yang sama dengan 50 Shades of Grey, tetapi diceritakan dari sudut pandangan watak utamanya, Christian Grey.
