Double post = necessary right now.

All right, children! Gather 'round! It's storytime! (Chorus of high-pitched little kid voices yelling "Yayyyyy!")

You all know the story of how the Beatles met, right? Well, it's wrong. This is how they really met. (Just kidding. I made it up, but you probably already knew that.)

Once upon a time, in the long-ago year of 1956, in the faraway land of Liverpool, Paul McCartney and his young friend George Harrison were at a submarine race. While the contestants were getting warmed up, Paul and George listened to the band, which happened to be John Lennon's band.

The ...

Love it!

Oh, and vonbontee, I thought fanfic-haters (I don't mean for that term to be rude/offensive) might object. I don't know if any Beatles Biblers hate fanfiction.

A story sounds like an interesting idea -- especially if it were partly or even wholly fictional.

Imagine a sci-fi story about the Beatles -- they reunited in the futuristic year of 1991, when interplanetary space travel has begun, and the Fab Four are enlisted to fly a spacecraft to Mercury to perform for the Mercurians.

At one point, John takes a hit of acid and looks in wonder out the porthole at the Sun, so close to Mercury as their ship begins the long orbit on its slow way to a descent through its cloudy atmosphere... but he's staring at that ...

Go right ahead, that's what the thread's for! Don't know why anybody would object...

Does anybody object to me reviving this thread? I hope not. I'm doing it anyway.

I like writing. I like The Beatles. I like writing stories about the Beatles. I don't actually have a complete one right now, but if I manage to finish one (don't worry, it will be short), would you mind if I posted it?

Okay, I have one more.
"Paul, you free for dinner tonight?" While it was John Lennon, it was still only 1972, only a year after their intensely public feud exploded over the media. "Um, how about the Hard Rock Café? I hear the food is fabulous." "Um, where is it?" "Times Square. 42nd and something. I'll get a reservation for 8." That night was not only the night were Lennon and McCartney agreed to end the war of words (at least in public), John even talked about the possibility of playing on Paul's next record, maybe a duet. "John was, ...

I think your depiction of an emotional response was accurate.

That's nice.. I know many people who had that reaction when John died...

This was my conscious attempt to write a story incorporating the feeling (and new knowledge) of NYC. I wonder what Paulrus. Here more then ever I want lots of feedback. So please, give it all.

If there is ever one story I would want feedback on, this latest one is it. Completely fiction, no BB'er at all. Please comment, and enjoy:
John Lennon was dead. That was the news, delivered with passion and emotion by the brilliant Howard Cosell, was a shock like no other to Jeremy Goodall, a 18 year old New Yorker, living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. That night, as hundreds upon hundreds of New Yorkers rushed to the Dakota, Jeremy resisted his temptations, instead calling his friend in Montreal, Jean Francois, for comfort and solace. "Jean, did you hear? ...

Well, if that is how you feel, then why don't I just change up the game then? Hamburg, 1960, Klaus Voorman's night in the Reeporbahn (I will admit now that some of these German places and names may be misspelled. I just woke up, and the names/place spellings aren't at my fingertips). (And since I know zero German, all the conversations will be written in English, even if it seems like they shouldbe German. Live with it). Here goes:
"Oh Klaus, just get away from me. I don't want to talk, it's late, just get out. Just go." Those words, ...

To be completely honest I didn't like it all that much. The form of how you right it makes it pretty hard to read which is what first throws me off. The second thing has been showing up a lot in your stories as of late. They all seem to have the same basic plot save for a few. The person in the story either wins or by a stroke of luck get's to meet a Beatle or go to one of their concerts. Maybe try something a little different, maybe more of a period piece. Or you could even ...

I PM'd her with the idea, and then we just ad-libbed the rest. As for her being named Patricia, there's a story behind it that I can't remember. If I think of it, I'll post it.

Edit: It was just the first female name to pop into my head when I did my first M3 story. And then it just stuck.

1. Yeah, that was fun.

2. I didn't remember that. I think what I took it from was Polythene Pam (Mr. Mustard's "sister"), whose real name was Pat.
