Toys – Not Just for Kids
Welcome to Wicked Wednesday. This week’s submission comes to us from Lulu_M, Pink Elephant. Due to technical fail, the interview had to be conducted by email. Her answers left me wishing that we had time for a proper chatterview, but in the end I think you will quite enjoy what she had to say about anything and everything!
Before you click in remember, despite the title of this week’s post, this subject matter is definitely not for those of you under the age of 18.
Pink Elephant is a comical and sexy story that has Edward, Bella, Alice and Emmett venturing out to a porn store. Of course, no one leaves the store empty handed and Edward and Bella in particular end up with the title piece of our story. Sexy and fun times ensue in this gem of a fic.
So, where do you stand on toys? I am not opposed to the idea whatsoever, but I speak from a place of complete naivety on the topic because *gasp* I myself have never owned one. Call me strange if you will (I assure you I’m no prude), tell me I’m missing out (I probably am) but I’ve just never had one. I was raised in a particularly strict household by a modest father and a demure mother – I never even got the sex talk (I’m actually grateful about that)- so my exposure to sex was limited to school, late night HBO sessions (Real Sex anyone?) and reading my parents very dated book “Everything You Wanted to Know about Sex but was Afraid to Ask.” I can tell you this much, at this point, I’m curious about the added element of toys in the bedroom, but wouldn’t even know where to begin. Care to educate me? Like an elephant, I’m all ears.
Without further ado, check out Lulu M’s interview below (her answers are in pink in honor of her story) and be sure to read Pink Elephant and leave your review!
Stay Wicked.
Jules: How’d you find your way into writing fanfic? What stories have you written? Have you written anything out of the Twilightdom?
Lulu: My fan fiction adventures started nine years ago with the anime I like to call Sailor Moon. I was the biggest moonie ever. I even quit girl scouts over it because I wanted to stay home and watch teenagers fighting in short skirts instead of going to the meetings. Ha! The whole girl scout quitting bit was just waiting to happen, but my girly friends in Tokyo helped push it along. I was an awkward seventh grader and just learning the ways of the internet, when I stumbled upon my very first fan fiction story. I can’t remember the title, but it was an AU Sailor Moon story, that featured a dashing rich Darien and a poor Serena with a Cinderella-esque twist to it. I was so excited over it, I wanted to write my own and typed it up on my mom’s old typewriter. Yes, I had a computer, and no, I didn’t utilize it. Remember, seventh grader here back in 2001. Hee.
A couple months later, I stumbled onto FF.net and it was Love at First Site (in more ways than one. That was the title of my first story…No judging. 7th grader, remember). From there, I wrote a ton of OS, which have now been deleted and have disappeared into internet oblivion. My biggest story was Forgotten Secrets (I never got past chapter four), which collected over 200 reviews, only because it sat there for five years.
Other than Sailor Moon and Twilight, I have written fan fiction in Rurouni Kenshin and Gundam Wing, and have read fan fiction in Labyrinth, Spirited Away, and Pride and Prejudice. Right now Twilight takes up most of my time, and for all my years in fan fiction, I am amazed at how huge and connected this fandom is. It’s truly astonishing to watch. My Twilight stories so far include: Zombie Killer of the Week and Lola (my Fun with your Clothes On submission).
Jules: Pink Elephant is E/B – have you ever written any non-canon or secondary character pairings?
Lulu: I’ll admit, once I fall in love with a character, I’m sucker for only that pairing. In my eyes, there’s no one out there for Edward besides Bella and vice versa. And the other characters don’t interest me as much, though in AH, all the characters could probably be interchangeable. hee. Though, I am not opposed to reading about other pairings, as long as I don’t have to write it. I once read an Edward and Leah pairing, and that was pretty hot. And I am definitely a sucker for Edward and Jasper pairings. Can you tell my obsession with all-things- Edward? You might as well slap some glitter on my cheeks and call me Mrs. Edward Cullen, because that boy makes me swoon. And when he says, “You are mine.” I just about melt every time.
Jules: How’d you come up with the idea for Pink Elephant?
Lulu: Oh goodness…This is the embarrassing part. Pink Elephant is based off of true events. Not all of it is true, because let’s face it, my life is not that interesting. I will tell you though, the schmexin’ is made up. If I had the fun-with-a-dildo scene, the whole my dad finding the hot pink dildo as he’s helping me unpack my stuff, might have been worth it. As it goes, all I got out of this story was a really humiliating moment between my father and I that we desperately try to forget. I’m still not quite sure how I ended up with the hot pink elephant…I think I have my roommate to thank for that…Butthead…
Jules: What fics are you currently reading? Any recs?
Lulu: Ha! I’m all about rec’ing other fics out there!
1. The Trick is to Keep Breathing by McGee42 – one of the only non-canon pairing stories I absolutely love! It also doesn’t help that I beta for it too. Hee. But the author writes the story via letters from the characters, and she is able to pack so much into 1000 words that leaves you breathless and with a new insight into the character.
2. Roman Candle by nowforruin - again does it count if I’m a pre-reader for it? Hee. But really, that put aside, this story makes me so angry, in a good way. I want to kick Bella and Edward’s asses, and yet I’m still compelled to go back for more. Who can resist a Lostward and a Bitchella?
3. Someone Like You by KekahJ – The predicaments we find the characters in are just woah-how-the-hell-do-we-ourselves-outta-this-one type things. Both characters are unattainable and yet they are drawn so powerfully to each.
There are a ton more I read, just so lil time to name them all.
Jules: Aside from Twilight have you read any other vampire or paranomal fiction/watched the movies?
Lulu: Once upon a time, I was a sucker for Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series. Vampires and werewolves (like real werewolves), yes please! Jean Claude is just yummy, and don’t forget about Richard Zeeman. The series is ridiculously long, and when I started it in 9th grade, it was already ten books in. I stopped reading after book fourteen, and now I think it’s up to nineteen. There was a point, and I dare to say this out loud, where the books just had too much sex, but they’re still awesome. I’ve also read a few of Ann Rice’s books, but I wasn’t that much into those. And other than Twilight, that’s about as far into vampire fiction I’ve strayed. As for television series/movies, True Blood rates as my all time favorite. The series is on my list to read, just haven’t gotten to it yet.
Jules: Name your top three, schmexiest characters from any vampire/paranormal genre.
Lulu:
1. Edward Cullen from Twilight – Gawd…That’s a no brainer eh? Haven’t we already established my love for all-things- Edward?
2. Jean Claude from the Anita Blake Series- He’s tall, dark, handsome, and with blue eyes. I’m a sucker for eyes. He has an accent and he can drink your blood without killing you. What’s not to love about him?
3. Eric Northman from True Blood – I have a thing for bad guys who you can just tell are good guys underneath. He makes me swoon in a Danny Zuko sort of way.
Jules: Of those three, who would you Fuck? Marry? Kill?
Lulu: I would marry Edward (duh).
I would fuck Jean Claude – the dude has 600 years of experience of having sex along with the incubus, let’s not get into that. In other words, he knows his shit.
I would kill…do I really have to choose? …fine…Eric, but can I have hot schmexin with him first?
Unfortunately, we all have to make that choice when we sign up for Wicked Wednesdays (damn tradition).
Until next time ladies…
BWAHAHA! My dad has never found any sex toys of mine, but oh dear has my mom! And my porn… I am going to jump right over and read your tale now, cannot wait!
As for you Jules…Vegas. Adult store. Sparkle peen.
Lulu – Thanks for turning your supremely embarrassing incident with your father into one of the funniest, sexiest, o/s I’ve read in quite awhile. I found myself chuckling at Emmett’s antics in the porn store. He is one of my favorite characters and I give you mad props for nailing his personality. I did want to strangle him for his cock blocking ways though *lol* The lemon was tre hot – makes me want to go out and buy a pink elephant of my own!
