Ugh it wasn't even close, nor was it even a good representation.

Anne Rices Sleeping beauty books were far more hard core, better reads, and around way before. Laurrel K hamilton did tons of that crap (sadly, cause her non-porn books were great) as well etc. 50 Shades just became popular for some crazy reason, even though the sex parts sucked (I liked them for the relationship stuff etc, but skipped the sex scenes usually).

...new adult fiction wasn't even a thing back when Anne Rice wrote her novels.

And Laurell K. Hamilton doesn't write in the genre either, afaik. They both do paranormal romances, but that's not even close being the same thing. You seem to have 50 Shades confused with Twilight (which, by the way, is *not* a new adult novel; it's just a YA paranormal romance).

Meanwhile 50 Shades led to a boom in new adult novels back when the genre was first starting to gain traction.
