neilmarr, J.Dean, let me try and make this definition as clear as possible. Pulp fiction, by my definition and understanding, is any low quality work specifically written to capitalize on existing fame for the purpose of profits only. No real care or effort goes into it's writing. It's merely there to make a buck, and nothing else. In other words, a story that's dumped onto the reader with no real care or effort being put into the stories.
Case in point. The Twilight series is a good example of this. While I myself don't like the series at all, a lot of people do. The first two books (from my understanding, as I've never read them) were apparently real blockbuster quality novels. Then they took off and the next two were cranked out as pulp fiction in order to capitalize on that fame and really sucked, and had nowhere near the quality of the first two books.
I hope that clarifies the definition a little.
