(Radio.com) Take heart, denizens of Fanfiction.net: someday your dreams could come true, too. A popular fan fiction that stars One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles has received a publishing deal after being purchased by Simon & Schuster, Hypable reports.

After, a fanfic posted on Wattpad, will be published in both print and eBook formats, with a set due date for the end of the year. The audio and world rights were also acquired - in all for a six-figure sum - meaning the potential for sequels and spinoffs exists.

The original story follows Tessa Young, 18, who has a fairly standard life going until she meets Harry, characterized in the fanfic's summary as a "rude boy" (no, he's not a Rastafarian in this world, though that should be a fan fiction by itself). Other members of One Direction make appearances as well.

After, which is 99 chapters long, includes a foreword warning of "detailed sex scenes" and a fair amount of explicit language. It was penned by Anna Todd, a 25-year-old Texan. more on this story
