”I need sunshine.”
one of my many random unposted mid ahh edits
gay beatles slash fanfiction has existed since beatlemania, unsurprisingly. so here's some stuff on that topic
"The most visible rock based BandFic community during this era is The Beatles. On August 18, 1960, The Beatles started playing under that name for the first time at an event in Hamburg, Germany. (Whelan) It would be four more long years before the band would make their American debut, an event that occurred on February 7, 1964 when they arrived in New York City for their first American tour. (Whelan) According to Barbara Ehrenreich, Elizabeth Hess, and Gloria Jacobs in their essay "Beatlemania: Girls Just Want to Have Fun," this event marked "the first mass outburst of the sixties to feature women – in this case girls, who would not reach full adulthood until the seventies and the emergence of a genuinely political movement for women’s liberation." This group, composed primarily of middle class, white teenagers, would form one of the core groups in the nascent bandfic community. In their adulation of the band, they would create many of their own fan related products including stories, zines and art. The fannish oral tradition that is alive today is implicit in the existence and circulation of fictional stories about band members during the early years of the band's history. Because the audience was young and not connected into a professional or underground movement, much of the material created by this group of fan girls never was published. The production, in most cases, likely consisted of one to five copies of a story being circulated only among the fan’s immediate peer group. The emergence of The Beatles, their popularity and their fans dedication to creating fan works was helped because of the era in which they appeared. The Beatles were at the forefront for many white, middle class teenage girls in helping them redefine their own definition of sexuality and their own definitions of what it meant to be female. (Ehrenreich) This was taking place in an era where there was that increased debate on subjects like "birth, a woman's obligation to society, and conception, bringing with it all of the bitterness and acrimony that have long surrounded these issues, beginning with perhaps the most obvious one of them all -- Sexism." (Rowland) Legal gender differences between men and women were beginning to fall. (Rowland) For young, white, middle class female Beatles fans, writing stories about the band was an opportunity to challenge their parents, to revel in the new ideas regarding male sexuality, to explore their own and more. They could write about marrying Ringo or having children with Paul McCartney. They could write about being noticed by the George Harrison at a concert and all that followed afterward. Most fans knew that none of those scenarios were likely to happen. Some deeply resented the idea of a member of the band becoming involved with any woman because it destroyed their own fantasies. They did not want to see that happen. It is highly probable, that given this and the fact that they were writing fictional stories featuring the Beatles, that some of the Beatles were written as homosexual if only as a way to ensure that the object of the fan's lust, since they could not be hers, would never belong to another female fan. The idea of writing male on male pairings to cut out other female fans is one that would reappear again and again during the next forty years as new bands were discovered and attracted new groups of young female fans."

“Bloody cord, c’mon…”
Paul fiddled with the cord on his bass, kneeling in front of it to get a better look at the jack. The band was preparing to rehearse for their upcoming appearance on some television show to promote their new album. They’d done so many of them lately that they were having a hard time remembering what the shows were called. Not that it really mattered. They would play a couple of songs, maybe talk to the host after, then go back to their rooms. And for this trip, Paul was sharing with George.
Blue moon
Title: Blue moon
Preview:
His fingers moved absent-mindedly on the keys of the guitar, pressing the right strings with agility. His singing was barely whispered. Paul was singing Blue moon. He thought it was appropriate, after all outside it was a full moon night, and its silvery glow was so powerful that it illuminated even his small bedroom. But all this light seemed very sad to Paul. The moonlight had always given him a kind of sorrowful sadness. And that evening, more than ever, Paul found himself confirming his thoughts. The reason?
Author’s note: Happy 80th birthday, Paul!
