But that will have to be done by people other than me. :)

Your point about the 1st person POV needing more introspection on the main character vs the male hero, could the issue in 50 Shades derive from its Twilight source material? As others have pointed out, Twilight is scarce on physical description of Bella while we know every facet of Edward’s being, down to all his twitching jaw movements or whatever. Given 50 Shades was Twilight fanfic to start, I would suggest that mimic of a style already adopted by Stephenie Meyer is partly to blame.

Very interesting thoughts btw!

When I saw Katie Roiphie had written about this for Newsweek, I uttered a long string of profane words. It’s been years since I’ve heard/read anything about/by her, and here she is, opining on this subject in a magazine that is clueless when it comes to romantic fiction.
