Interviewer
Just to start of, what's your name? And how are you doing?

Grace
My internet name is Grace Flowers, friends and readers just call me Grace for short. And I'm doing fine, thank you!!

Interviewer
Let's get to the first question, tell me a little bit about you and how you first found out about the Beatles?

Grace
Ok so long story short, my grandfather is a major fan of them. He has a bunch of shirts and whenever they turn up on the radio, he immediately settles on the station and listens. I first heard Let It Be when I was just nine (or eight) and I asked him "what does the singing guy mean?" and he gives me a fond smile and tells me he doesn't really know either.

Then fast forward to my early Directioner days; Everyone kept comparing the boys to the Beatles and I thought "Who are these guys?" and that, my girl, is the exact moment I fell into the rabbit hole named Beatlemania.

Interviewer
Do you have a favorite album? And if so, why?

Grace
My top three favorite albums are AHDN, The Love Album (god, that album is my WEAKNESS!!!) and Please Please Me. I absolutely adore their earlier albums, but the later ones were, well, a bit too wild for me so I just stuck with their silly love song and whatnot.

Interviewer
Those albums are great! And I know what you mean. I remember when I first heard "Girl" I had to take moment.

Why did you first start writing Beatles fanfics?

Grace
Alright so, I didn't really know anything about Beatle ships at the time— And I wasn't really interested in making fanficts with Beatle X Reader (I found, and still find them uncomfortable. I don't really know why?). I stumbled upon a bunch of Mclennon art and fanficts on Tumblr and started shipping them hard, then I discovered Starrison, which became the pairing for my first official fic (Which I discontinued because I didn't want to continue it anymore, but that's another story). The rest of my other first few works were, well, smut.

Interviewer
What was your first fanfic like?

Grace
Well my first fanfict's was named "I'm Fine" which is basically Ringo going through depression and the like. I don't really wanna talk about it, if it's fine with you.

Interviewer
That's fine! Don't worry. Is there a current fanfic you are writing now that you are really excited about? And if so -- to those that are reading it, could you give them a spoiler?

Grace
Yeah, actually I do! I have this fic about Lennstarr, where Ringo is literally an angel who crash lands to Earth. (SPOILER) Ringo's lost halo plays a significant role in the fic.

Interviewer
I just read the bio for that! It sounds so interesting and original.

Have you got any Beatles fanfics planned for the future? And what are some of your favorite current ones?

Grace
Ohh boy do I have lots of planned Lennstarr fics. This fandom needs more of those cuties, Ella (the girl who nominated me, thanks boo) and I are cooking up a storm.

My favorite fics of mine are, well, Just Friends, Crazy For You and, well, Mad. Though I haven't finished the third one, I really love the whole plot.

Interviewer
Do you have any favorite ones from other writers?

Grace
OH DEAR BE READY FOR A LONG LIST OF REALLY GAY FANFICTS
