There was the mob, all reaching and grabbing at something on the ground. Several of them were screaming bloody murder (due to the excitement of the fallen Beatle or because they were being pushed and shoved was unknown).

"Paul McCartney! It's him!" they shrieked in utter amazement as they ripped at his hair and his clothes....


The year is 1964, and The Beatles have made it big...maybe a little too big, for, everywhere they go, they're ambushed by fan girls. Usually, the lads from Liverpool are quicker than the crowd, but, one day, the fans happen to grab a hold of none other than The Beatles' bassist, Paul McCartney, effectively beating his body and mind to a pulp.

This angst/hurt comfort story tells the tale of Paul McCartney, who has been scarred by the brutality of his attack, and his three friends, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, who are trying their best to help Paul and his paranoid state of mind.

Will the three friends help Paul? Or will they only make his situation worse? If so, will Paul go so far as to quit being a Beatle? Read "I'll Cry Instead" to find out!

Inspired by a story on Fanfiction.net called "Stage Fright." Do give that one a read, if you have the chance.

Fixing a Hole by DolenzStarr
14 parts Complete
This is a fantasy adventure about the Beatles where the four friends get transported to what appears to be another world by a ring that Ringo slips on his finger and can't seem to get off. The four have only just finished playing on the Ed Sullivan show, and are dismayed by the fact they don't have the slightest idea of how to get home to continue their concerts in America. They search this new place, and finally find a small village. Though they are warned by someone they meet in this unusual village that the ring Ringo found is an important link between worlds, and that many people in this land will do anything to get their hands on it, the Beatles ignore his warning and soon meet someone they decide they can trust as a friend; after all, this new friend looks and acts just like Ringo. However, after they spend a night in the Ringo clone's shack for shelter, they are forced to leave him behind to continue their search for a way home. Yet, there is a catch. Now Ringo himself has begun to act strangely, and the rest of the Beatles are beginning to seriously wonder if somehow the two Ringos got switched. Still, if they did, how? And why? (Keep in mind that this story is completely different from anything else I have ever written. It was an experiment in the fantasy genre, and it goes in completely different and unusual directions. Unlike my many mystery filled Beatles stories of which there will probably be more, this one was most likely a one time experiment.)
