Fifty Shade: EL James' Twitter Q&A Gets Skewered

June 29, 2015 4:38 PM EDT

On Monday Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James became the latest example of audience participation gone wrong. The emoticon-prone author stopped by Twitter’s U.K. headquarters for a Q&A session, mostly to questions about what music inspires her or which scenes from the book were the hardest and easiest to write. But she also got a lot of questions about the quality of her writing, the novels’ Twilight inspirations and whether or not she glorifies domestic abuse. Though the Twitter interview ended hours ago, questions are still pouring in. Here’s a sampling of what James (or the person screening her questions) saw today:

#AskELJames Are you getting tendinitis from having to hit "block" so often :(

My boss said no when I asked if I could kiss him and then I did anyway because no means yes right? Things at work are awkward. #AskELJames
