After 4, The Harry Styles fan fiction managed to have a 4th film?
After 4 is the 4th installment of the After franchise. This movie series started as a self insert Wattpad fanfiction. Who would have thought we got a film franchise out of fanfic. So to Aspiring writers out there who can’t get to publish. Make your humble beginnings with fanfiction because it can be a shortcut if you can pull it off.
Anna Todd wrote a fanfiction about Harry Styles that got so viral she got offered to turn it into a movie. The male lead is renamed so they won’t need Style’s permission.
There are still similarities between the real person and the fictional character. Both men are British and have a rebellious image to people.
There is no way Harry Styles will agree to be associated with this character. Styles is a man who challenges patriarchy by doing things that challenge masculinity. Hardin is an abusive jerk who is popular with girls because they love bad boys.
It has heavy influences from 50 shades of Gray. 50 shades of Gray also started as a fanfiction of Twilight that became popular enough to be its entity.
Despite being a character full of Red flags, Hardin became a popular character among female readers.
It is about an 18 year old Girl named Tessa Young (Josephine Langford )who discovers her sexuality and womanhood when she met Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes Tiffin.)
