Rules

Wait for your turn (see list below) before making your post.
Your story/drabble must center around a character found in a Beatles song
(e.g. Eleanor Rigby, Lucy in the Sky, Nowhere-Man... see Character List below).
If possible, quote the lyrics of the song from which the character is taken at the beginning of your post. If you think the whole thing is too long, take a couple of lines only.
Your story/drabble must contain a (short) reference to the post before you. For instance, if Blackbird is your predecessor, you could make your character walk by the bird from Cin's story.
If it is your turn to write a story, but you don't have the time / suffer from writer's block etc. (we all do once in a while), just drop a note and we'll advance to the next in line.

If you want to join the club, you can either post your request here or drop a line with your character/idea to one of the hosts, and you will be added to the list of authors (first come, first serve). If you have a cool plot for a story/drabble, but don't want to do this on a regular basis, you can request to fill a guest slot. Just write "guest application" at the beginning of your message / post.

Character List and Claims

The following list contains a selection of the characters found in Beatles songs. If you find someone/something that has been left out, feel free to drop a note here.

If a character is underlined and has a name in brackets behind it, this means that one of the authors has claimed to write a story for that one already. Please pick another. If you have a really really awesome idea for the same character, feel free to post it here and we will see if a double is in order.

If a character is struck through, it has already been used. (Same as above applies)

Thank you, thank you, but I think there is no need for haste... we only have three authors so far... and I haven't visited Beethoven-house yet, which I wanted to do before I write my next story. 'Tis a shame, I get off the train every morning just a few hundred meters from that place, but never visited yet...

Yeah, no rush. It'll probably take me a couple days to motivate myself too. What we need to do is recruit. :3

Erik_le_Fantome is another candidate... he's pretty busy right now, but he was sure interested in filling a guest slot when he has the time.

Thanks, Ffam. Oh, and if you have any other suggestions for the thread, gimme gimme... I think the title is quite sucky, so, if you have a better idea... let me know, please.

I was toying with "A hard day's night" but scrapped it for brevity's sake... by the way, if you're still looking for another screen name... I think I have the perfect one for you... wink

Well, that's the basis for my next contest, so if it is, indeed, perfect, you may win some gold.
