Great Beatles Fan Fiction Writers: Past and Present

I enjoy a good story, but the heyday of Beatles fan fiction seems to be over. Which is a shame because there are some talented writers out there who aren't getting the recognition they deserve.

What writers of Beatles fan fiction stories do you enjoy? I think the best writer currently updating (on an irregular basis but the updates are worth the wait) is Terri she has a great site here.

She's a real talent with an interesting mix of genres. She can write it all and on top of it the stories are good quality. Currently she's writing quite an interesting George mystery story that involves murder and sex. And, the other story she's writing while it does have angst is a completely different genre. She also wrote this really great Paul story that will give you chills. It's no fluff piece.

She's go this great ability to take actual Beatles history and add other non canon elements seamlessly.

Who are your favorite fan fiction writers past and present?

Terri is indeed a very superb, sublime and talented writer. I like some of the authors from McLennonLand but haven't had a chance to catch up.

Terri is the bees knees! LOL. I really do enjoy her stuff. I've looked through some of the stuff on McLennonLand on LJ. It didn't take long for them to accept my membership request. I'm not a big fan of slash. I lean more toward the het pairings, but slash seems to be more popular these days or at least more active. Any writers by name I should check out?

I like jpgr1963 and beagle-agent, I also like some of the writers who use Beatles actual history and the geniune lingo they used.
I wish Jonesingjay would write more! Lots of potential there!

Those are some good ones.

jonesingjay has moved onto strictly het stories, and recently posted on BFFD over on LJ.

And, knowing Beatles history and using English slang correctly is a nonnegotiable must I'd say.

Couldn't agree with you more there, JC. Couldn't agree more! ;)

Aviva Rothschild (who's here as ShowTunes) is currently writing a sequel to With Strings Attached. I'm lucky enough to get to read chapters as she finishes them, and it's quite a twisty story.

Aviva is still writing? I need to check back then! Yes!

Hey nice to see YOU, Sandra! Are you still writing in the science-fiction genre? I would love to read more of your stuff. Not that I'm pushing you or anything. :p But more please!

What's 'With Strings Attached' about?

Infogal, I don't think Aviva's posted chapters of her new work yet, but she's made a lot of headway with it. I think she'll finish it much faster than she did WSA.

As for my own work, yes, I still write fantasy and SF. As a matter of fact, I've gone indie. I've rewritten Move Over Ms. L. and published it as Lyon's Legacy. (I've changed John's name and several other details, but a fan should still see the Lennon influence.) It's available as an e-book and in paperback. The sequel will be published next year.

Johncharles, With Strings Attached is a fantasy set in 1980. Basically, the Beatles are brought to an alien world, and while they aren't happy to see each other at first, they have to work together before they can return home. But singing/playing together isn't enough, and all four will be changed on many levels even before they begin their quest--I can say no more. ;)

'With Strings Attached' does sound like an interesting concept and certainly one I've never read about before.

You can read a sample of WSA here: http://www.rationalmagic.com/Strings/Strings.html. The full version is available as both a paperback and in Kindle format.

Thanks, for the link.

Yes thank you for the link! I am truly glad to hear that you are still writing Fantasy & Sci-Fi. Your work is inspiring and very well written. See you around on the sci-fi side!

I hope that link works, my favorite story was Dark Horse, I wish Eleanor would come back to the community and write again. This is the story of George and Paul as orphans, who meet up with saviours John and Richard, it's a love story at the end. Also, Ria (Rainydaymare) wrote an excellent story called Inmate where George is in an institution and John is his doctor, but she has since deleted everything, a shame, because she wrote so poetically.

Dark Horse is her most popular work, because everyone likes that work especially. Yeah she is missed, and while I understand her reasons for getting away, I hope she'll return because she is good. I never thought her stuff was mere angst, but as you said; very poetic.

but she has since deleted everything, a shame, because she wrote so poetically.

That's a shame she deleted her work.
