Throwback Thursday! Mrs. Peacock is Smoking in the Boy's Room with CorrinaTTF!

Today we're going back over a year ago and bringing you a rec from Mrs. Peacock!

Let’s talk about U S T. Let’s talk about you and me. Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things…

Hold up. Bad things? I can’t think of one person that hasn’t enjoyed a little unresolved sexual tension from time to time. You know the feeling. The electricity. The frustration that feels oh so good. The feeling like you’re going to combust. Seriously, there are no bad things when it comes to UST, none at all, which is why Smoking in the Boy’s Room must be on your fan fic radar. Sweet baby jeebus this fic is wrought with UST and as much as I growl to CorrinaTFF when I leave my reviews for her chapters, secretly I love it. Just don’t tell her because then I’ll lose my cred.

I can totally relate to her Bella. Bella wants out. Period. She doesn’t date, doesn’t want to end up in Forks, she wants to see what’s out there so she doesn’t play the game. Until he comes to town. Still, she’s determined to get out of Forks and Edward was not going to stand in her way.

I had one mission left in my teenage years and that was to get the hell out of Forks and everything associated with it as soon as I graduated. Edward Cullen would not hold me back.

That’s right, Edward shows up and Bella’s plans start to fall apart or do they?

Edward doesn’t want to be in Forks. He is forced to move from Chicago with his parents, Ed and Elizabeth (Lizzy) and is not thrilled with the idea. Until he meets Bella.

When I sat that close to her, I was able to see how beautiful she really was. She had the most amazing chocolate brown eyes. Her hair was a dark chestnut, but with the sun behind her it looked as though she had red streaks running through.

"It's nice meeting you, E." I could still feel the charge in the air as I looked at her blushing face as she stared down at her pizza slice. Fuck me! I think I just heard a nickname I actually fucking like.

And so it begins. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. Parents and extended family get involved, paths cross and in typical High School fashion, there is miscommunication out the wazoo. The friends word is tossed around like a football and both Edward and Bella tiptoe along this unspoken line of ‘are we or aren’t we, do we or don’t we’. It is magically delicious, scrumptious even, if not a little maddening. You find yourself alternating between gritting your teeth and fanning yourself during every chapter as the two dance around each other while the usual suspects watch and scheme. So so good.

We were watching the movie, and I got the chills when I saw this old guy just appear out of nowhere, informing the dad that he had an offer on the place. I nervously glanced over at Edward and found that his brow was furrowed, as if he were trying to figure things out. I went back to watching the movie, but screeched when the crows started attacking the farmer. I heard Edward laugh from his corner of the couch and tossed a pillow at him in a playful gesture.

"Fuck, Bella! You scream like a girl." He tucked the pillow under his arm.

"Well, no shit, E! I am a girl, you idget!" I reached behind me to grab another pillow to toss.

"What the fuck is an idget? Did you make that shit up?" God, his smile was beautiful!

I rolled my eyes. "Just watch the movie, Cullen."

Just as he started to get into the movie again, I tossed the pillow I was holding at his head. He looked at me, a bit in shock, and then I saw the biggest grin spread across his face.

"You really shouldn't have done that." My eyes went wide when I saw him sidle up, one knee on the couch, his other leg extended to the floor, arms bent at the elbows and his hands in the shape of claws.

"You wouldn't dare!" I screeched.

"Wouldn't I?" If I moved, I was sure to hurt myself. I could try to run, but how far could I have gotten on my ankle?

He was inching his way closer; my only way out was to threaten him. "Cullen, you better sit your ass back on your side of the couch or I'll…"

"You'll what, Swan?" He interrupted with that damn sexy smirk, and his eyebrow cocked playfully as he moved in closer.

Just then, the door burst open and Edward was instantly back in his corner of the couch, leaning into the arm as far away from me as he could get.

"Ugh! Why did you two have to leave so early? And, why didn't I know it?" Alice! Shit, I had forgotten to text her. She looked at me, then at Edward, and got this gleam in her eye that could only be described as devious. Her voice sweetened, "Edward, can you scoot closer to Belly so that Jasper can have the corner? I like to lean into him." I narrowed my eyes at Alice and shot invisible daggers at the devious, little sprite. Edward scooted into the spot next to me as Jasper and Alice took their new spot. Why he didn't take one of the chairs, I couldn't have guessed.

Originally written as a one-shot for the Naughty Heels Anonymous 80s contest, CorinnaTFF decided to expand Smoking in the Boys Room and it is currently 10 chapters long with more to come. It is the perfect blend of comedy and romance and yes, UST, so do yourself a favor and check it out.

Mrs. Peacock: How did you get started with Fan Fiction?

CorrinaTFF: My 17 year old sister of all people got me reading it. Of all people. LOL As far as writing it... a whim. I saw a contest and entered. I still can't figure out if it was brave or nuts.

Mrs. Peacock: I’m curious how that came up...I'm too chicken to admit I read it to anybody else

CorrinaTFF: She literally had to force me to read Twilight. I know I may get kicked for that one, but it's the truth. I had so much fun with the books that when she mentioned fanfiction, I figured what the hell.

Mrs. Peacock: What are your top 5 favorite fan fiction stories you’ve read?

CorrinaTFF: Oh crap... That's a hard one. I have so many that I love for different reasons. I am an angst h00r and there are some good writers out there for that. But then I love the humor... this is so hard. I love love love @kharizzmatik's Emancipation Proclamation. I get lost in @EdwardsBloodTpe's High Anxiety. Those are both super angsty, but I love them.

Then there are some lesser known stories that have captured me...I am anxiously awaiting an update to JulieButterly's "The UnderGraduate" and I am going out on a limb for the slash readers ...Shoefreak37's "Tracking Redemption" It is complete. But I can’t really name my top 5 ... I just drop everything to read those. There are so many I love to read.

Mrs. Peacock: Do you have any recommendations for our readers? This is different from favorites...

CorrinaTFF: Chasing Victory by @mpg82 I love RaceCarEdward. You Should Know by @Tiffanyanne3FF I really hate her Jake...almost as much as mine. Maybe more.

Blossom by @ms_ambrosia. A Beautiful Mess by @Risbee and @Coldplaywhore -- B&E just got over their UST so squee and Almost Doesn't Count by @Mrs_Robward for a good Daddyward

Mrs. Peacock: You know I love that one :)

CorrinaTFF : It's a good one. I did want to kick Mike Newton in the junk quite a few times

Mrs. Peacock: Oh I know...I get angry in most fics, and usually at Mike or Jacob or Jessica, but that one evoked some pretty visceral reactions from me.

CorrinaTFF: I completely get it.

Mrs. Peacock: If you had to mismatch the canon pairings who would you put with whom?

CorrinaTFF: Hmm... I will probably be beheaded for this, but I would put Edward with Alice and Bella with Emmett. Edward and Alice just get each other, ya know? And I really think Emmett could get Bella to loosen up and enjoy life.

Mrs. Peacock: Interesting... *shudders thinking about Edward and Alice*

CorrinaTFF: I know I know! LOL But they really do have that bond and it could grow into something... I'm sure. Mostly.

Mrs. Peacock: On a related note, are there any pairings that drive you crazy?

CorrinaTFF: I'm willing to give any pairing a shot because I don't believe in things always being cookie cutter. Life just isn't that way. But Esme with Edward... *shivers* She’s too motherly for any of them.

Mrs. Peacock: Oooooh good answer...and I totally agree. That's even more squickish than E/A

CorrinaTFF: She's too much of a mommy figure for them. I mean I get that Carlisle is the Dad, but that man has some years on him. I could see him gettin' freaky! Or is that just a dream I have? Hmm...

Mrs. Peacock: I don’t know...but it’s a dream I'll have tonight ;)

CorrinaTFF: LOL Peter Facinelli owns me. That is all. I blame him.

Mrs. Peacock What is your craziest fan encounter or review?

CorrinaTFF: LOL OMG I have had no fan encounters yet. I have so many crazy reviews I can't even tell you. This last update, I thought for sure people were going to lynch me for a scene I wrote with Jacob. For the most part the reviewers have been very kind. Don't get me wrong...I have a few that are pissed. I've gotten PMs, but it is the author's story to write. The reader doesn't know where the story is going and making demands is just silly.

Mrs. Peacock: Exactly! I may not agree with something, but it’s not mine and I don’t know what the author has planned. That's why I try to avoid spoilers. I don’t like to know anything ahead of time.

CorrinaTFF: Are you saying you don't like to be teased? LOL Or are you talking about the tweets while reading?

Mrs. Peacock: Teasers I don’t really mind because they don’t give the plot away really...they just tease. Obviously LOL

CorrinaTFF: I have an end game in place for SITBR, but sometimes the in between shifts. I wrote some chapters months ago, but the story took a different direction in some cases and I think it's actually gotten better. I don't see the advantage in revealing anything to anyone.

Mrs. Peacock: Do any of your real life friends know you write fanfiction? If yes, what is the typical reaction? If no, what do you think would happen if your two worlds collided?

CorrinaTFF: They didn't know until just this last week! I love my husband, but he gossips more than any teenage girl ever could. He's very supportive of my writing, and he wanted to share. So he told two sets of our married friends. They are now reading all of my stories. I told them not to tell me what they thought because I didn't want to have to worry about defending my choices. Its one thing to defend your thought processes to someone you know, but the anonymity the fanfiction world provides is sometimes more freeing. Did that make sense?

Mrs. Peacock: Absolutely. I totally get you.

CorrinaTFF: Whew! Okay I feel better now LOL

Mrs. Peacock: LOL I told you I'd be gentle ;)

Mrs. Peacock: What are some things you tend to steer away from when writing a story?

CorrinaTFF: I don't know that I have run into anything as of yet besides the obvious. Well, I guess it would be obvious to me. Usually the basic things people can't stomach--like a rape scene in its entirety. Oh! I cannot write slash. I just can't ... although; I recently learned never say never when writing... so I will say I haven't pressed that far yet.

Mrs. Peacock: If you could beat the shit out of one Twilight character, from the book or movie, which would it be? How would you do it and why?

CorrinaTFF: Jacob. Seriously, the kid just can't take a hint. A beating might be strong, but I definitely think he deserves quite a few thwaps to the back of the head Jethro Gibbs-style. How many times does a girl have to tell you, "I just want to be friends"? Oooh on that note...Mike Newton. Same reason.

Mrs. Peacock: What is your favorite curse word?

CorrinaTFF : Fuck. Fucking. Fucktard. Fucker. Fuckawesome. It's just fun to say. Button-flyward says it a lot! I think that's how I get my release. He allows me that much.

Mrs. Peacock. So why the 80s contest? Why that song? What was your inspiration?

CorrinaTFF: It's so funny. I was reading I Get Off by Britpacksuccubus (love her) and listening to my favorite DJs on blip.fm; Smoking in the Boys' Room came on and it just kinda clicked for me. I don't know how really, but it all started with Bella and Edward there. I just pictured it and put it to paper immediately. I had heard about the contest prior to that and I thought it was interesting. I am a kid from the 80s--gah I'm old--and I was into the glam bands. Besides, it's Motley Crue... come on!

Mrs. Peacock: Ahhhh back in the day when MTV showed videos ;)

CorrinaTFF: No doubt! Now they have all the reality TV bs. *eyeroll*

Mrs. Peacock: I used to really REALLY want to be one of the girls in the ZZTop Legs video LOL

CorrinaTFF: LOL Didn't we all??

Mrs. Peacock: Now I just want to be the girl they come make over LOL But I’d settle for being on What Not to Wear.

CorrinaTFF: Oh I don't know about that. I think they get it wrong sometimes. I'd hate to be the one they get it wrong with! LOL

Mrs. Peacock: But I really want to hang out with Clinton.

CorrinaTFF: I totally understand that.

Mrs. Peacock: Favorite 80s video?

CorrinaTFF: OH NO! Hmmmm . It's corny.

Mrs. Peacock: The 80s were corny.

CorrinaTFF: I know it's so simple but something about the women behind him playing the guitars...

Mrs. Peacock: Bwahahahaha I know which one it is!

CorrinaTFF: LOL Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" I feel like I should duck and hide LOL

Mrs. Peacock: So what did you think when Brenda, Donna and Kelly did it on 90210. Well, the appearance anyway…the song was different once Emily Valentine got involved.

CorrinaTFF: I wanted to cuntpunch 'em. Not gonna lie, they nearly ruined it for me. LOL

Mrs. Peacock: LOL...for whatever reason I just had a flashback to the Saved by the Bell Episode where Jessie takes the diet pills... "I’m so excited, I'm so excited, I’m so......scared" So...Zack or AC Slater? And if you say Screech, this interview is over

CorrinaTFF: LMFAO I liked Zack ... the bad boy/class clown. I always did like the jokers more than the jocks

Mrs. Peacock: Well you know what they say about a man and the size of his cell phone LOL

CorrinaTFF: LOL it must be Kellan Lutz?

Mrs. Peacock: **makes mental note to go find that gif of him running when this is over**

Did you ever have an OMG moment in the fandom? Like someone reviewed you or recommended you and you literally squeed?

CorrinaTFF: Both times ... and now. LOL @RachelMFZ felt compelled to post me on her blog. Then @kellyprovence from @Twificpromotion ... and now being interviewed by Mrs. Peacock herself.... squee

Mrs. Peacock: If there was one fan fiction author you could switch places with for a day, who would it be and why?

CorrinaTFF: Is it weird that I would say no one? I see the triumphs and struggles of others, but I really do enjoy my readers too much. I love every last one of them, because they keep me going. Even the pushy ones. LOL. By the way…here ya go....http://twitpic.com/174j7p

Mrs. Peacock: Oh sweet jeebus

CorrinaTFF: LOL You're welcome.

Mrs. Peacock: What story do you HAVE to read the moment you see an update?

CorrinaTFF: Gah ... right now I have two because they are at critical points in the story.... Freeze Frame by Jewels64 and Emancipation Proclamation by Kharizzmatik

Mrs. Peacock: Ok...one last question... *trying to think of something completely spectacular*

Favorite New Kid?

CorrinaTFF: Favorite New Kid?

Mrs. Peacock: Oh please...you know you know all the words to Hangin' Tough. I had the Cassingle.

CorrinaTFF: This is another one of those questions that could get me killed ... but...I love Donnie. Haha. Always have.

Mrs. Peacock: Hey, as long as it wasn't the one that looked like a gorilla...Danny was it?

CorrinaTFF : LOL Danny Wood! LMFAO

Mrs. Peacock: You know their last names?!?!?!

CorrinaTFF: I guess he did, didn’t he? You don't??!? Oh you are soooo fired!

Mrs. Peacock: Donnie, yes. Joey, yes. The rest...no

CorrinaTFF: Jordan and Jonathan Knight

Mrs. Peacock: But I did have many issues of Tiger Beat ;)

CorrinaTFF: Donnie and Mark Wahlberg. OMG I miss Tiger Beat sometimes...we need mags like that for those of us approaching cougarhood.

Mrs. Peacock: What do they say we are now? Pumas?

CorrinaTFF: I mean there's People, but where is my life-sized poster damnit! YES! LOL

Mrs. Peacock: Ok, so I lied earlier. This is the last question. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

CorrinaTFF: "All is forgiven." and the joker part of me "Did you have fun?" I know I am forgiven, but it would still be nice to hear.
