After Gone with the Wind I was so desperate for anything with closure that I read both Scarlett (by Alexandra Ripley) and also Rhett Butler's People. On the whole, I actually liked Ripley's novel better--I was furious at how RBP had butchered Scarlett's character--although I see from the wiki page that Scarlett was "universally panned by critics". I don't care!

(Then I found fandom, and GWTW totally has its own, sizeable category on FF.N!)

first person with every detail of what the heroine thought and ate and drank and bought, for example. ;)
-AUUUUUGHHHHH

how strongly Amazon's going to enforce the 'no porn' rule.
-This makes me wonder too. I know that erotica titles get randomly hidden (so they just don't show up in searches), but on the other hand, it'd waste a lot of manpower trying to skim all the fics. Maybe a search algorithm picking up on common terms, or scanning summaries.
