OH. This. Do I like this yes I do you know that. Gosh, my username is practically a gay spitting joke, this one was made for me.
Since I only had a mini-gush the other night I reckon it's time to get my essay glasses on. And also turn the light on so I can actually see something. Oh, almost forgot my lacy knickers. Now I'm ready.

This is so bloody cute. I can't even begin to describe the dense bubbly chest-feeling that comes as a response to all this bloody cuteness. Beardy quiffy Ringo? Baby quiffy George? In love? Yes. Like I already said, I really dig the premise; it works so fluidly and leaves so many opportunities for titty twists. Like the one that's planned, oh boy I really wanna read that. Oh, I really love the platonic J/R too. And all the delights it brings.
I am actually enjoying this way too much considering it's G/R. It's so weird for me. What have you done to me you filthy swine. Although (penis?) in all fairness, they are like proper wee teds and my sexual preference is basically boys in leather with quiffs and homoerotic vibes. But still.
Oh and what else do I like. Yes. Cottaging Ringo. Am I being rude. Maybe. But it's just a lovely little detail.
Nnnng! And Brian. I'm assuming Brian will appear soon. This is always good news. Especially since there are so many half-written fics about him in my notebook. True story. I keep on expecting Reggie too. Why am I doing this.

Is it time for my favourite bits? I feel a throbbing. It must be.
This is actually quite difficult because I really like all of this. Did I tell you that. Hmm.

"“But that one’s a little cunt.” His mood suddenly changing to annoyance, “That kid there,” John jutted his finger towards the window,
“He’s pretty quiet and actually buys records, unlike the other one who comes in with ‘im just to spite me.”"
I always give out bonus points for use of the word cunt. Also what is going on between them. Does John want his arse or something. No wait this isn't J/P sorry I'll stop now sob sob. Polly Dolly, snort.

"The fellow, he figured it was a man or boy from the messily-styled quiff looking thing - though it kind of reminded him of a turban rather than a duck’s tail - didn’t look like either of those though. From what Richard could make out, he looked quite young with his lithe and youthful-looking silhouette against the sunrise."
The turban line is great, made me laugh like a mating vixen. I had to read it in Paul's proper scouse voice penis. Tehhhban. And the rest of it is lovely, messily-styled quiff looking thing. Wunderbar.

"Richard could hardly believe how much a smile could beautifully morph a person’s face and make it, well, more beautiful, but there it was right in front of him, obviously shocking his lungs as well as his eyes."
My soul has stirred. This is such a gorgeous bit.

"The distinct smell of the shop somehow reminded him of an old person’s attic, though it wasn’t as unpleasant as it sounded. It was comfortable. That was the only word that really came to mind."
Why, that's genius! I didn't realise you were as dashing and fertile to come up with something like that. No really penis you are very right, I cannot argue. Especially the comfort thing.

"...with a sudden fluttery feeling tumbling through his intestines."
And this is dead nice too.

"Jesus, what was this? The watering hole for good-looking teenagers or something?"
Correct.

I'm gonna stop now because there are just too many.
Needless to say I'm excited. If you could see the ecstatic twist in my face I'm sure you'd know how well you've done. Give yourself a pat on the bottom. No, actually, let me do that for you.

Okay I'm going to knock this essay out of the way while I still feel all happy and smiley.

God I know man, it's what I've been trying to tell you. George/Ringo is so fucking cute that you'll almost explode but you won't and instead you'll just have that feeling of almost exploding and ugh it's great. I'm super excited to get this story going because I'll have an excuse to write all cutesy and lovey.
Platonic J/R is a great base for a story y'know. Seeing as they were so close in real life, it just kind of falls into place easily and calls for some funny but believable interactions between the too in later chapters. And so is platonic P/G. Super easy to write yo.
I had to do so much research for that tiny little detail of cottaging. I was going to ask you but I just decided to do it myself because lol what experience do you have with cottaging. If you're rude for liking that add-on, then I'm Hitler for putting it in yes.
I don't know if I'll add Reggie in here lol. Don't cane me. I mean like where would he come from. Should Ringo walk in on Brian pleasuring him in his office or something. Hey wait. That would work. I plan on having him discover Brian is gay somehow. Wow I just came up with a dot on the plot line.

Ah, you'll have to wait and see what's going on between those two rascals. Like I said on the prologue, it's mainly G/R with hints of J/P. As in 95 percent of the love is between little George and hairy Ringo, while the other 5 percent belongs to the other pairings (including the one I told you about) so I figure about 2.5 percent of that goes to J/P lol.

Oh my god yes, I couldn't stop saying that after I heard him on LITMW so I had to add it in. "Like a fookin tuhhhrben!"

My soul is smiling as it watches your stir.

Caught red handed, har har. But hey, I repaid my theft by letting you be my test-reader didn't I.

Lmfao okay I probably meant to change that. I just wrote shit about intestines because I was stuck there and forgot to put **'s. Because that makes no fucking sense. Through his intestines what.

Ding ding ding. Guess what you've just done. Picked out my favorite line, that's what. I was so satisfied when I came up with that line. Watering hole, snortle chortle.

Well well, I'm uber happy that you're going to be reading this story. When I dragged it out of my hidden files as BHB got closer to the end, I was like oh wait it's G/R. That's going to cut my amount of readers in half, sob sob. But I'll still write it, if only for my own happiness.

[spitrainbows]

I always sort of thought G/R was the cute one, but I just never really knew where to start with reading it lol. With J/P it's just like okay where are the NC-17 fics. But yes. I am a big softie really, I confess.
Yes exactly. Both in the same one, it double works. They have such good banter as well, oh I love it. You have great characterisations, I must say.
lol me. What. I've never been cottaging because well even if I were a gay man now I don't think many people do it, considering it isn't illegal anymore. Actually saying that I do know quite a lot about it from trying to teach myself polari. How terrible.
Did you sort of mention him being in it before because I can't understand why else I would think that. I haven't even written the first Reggie one lol I did like a sentence. And then drew Reggie. And then made a drink and probably fell asleep I dunno it was ages ago. Oh man the walking in on him thing would be too good. Voyeurism is fabulous. DO IT.

Oh shit really. That would make it even better. Oh my God, my face is getting creepy from all this grinning. 2.5% is good enough. And I am so drawn to that other pairing. Ugh look you've turned me into a bigger Beatle-perv, what must your parents think. Hairy Ringo.

Haha same, I love Northern accents. Every time I see baby George I have to say it to myself. Fookin.

Don't look, you're making me self-conscious.

I will be okay with this if you let me be the test reader for all of them. Go on. You know you want to.

Exactly. It's one of those weird dodgy ones. I like weird dodgy ones you know that. I like tumbling, it sounds cute to me idk. Like hamsters. They tumble sometimes. Just be quiet.

This is scaring me now. I can't even pretend to be doing it out of omniscience or something. Such magic.

Oh yes, you shall get more essays soon. Bet you carn't wait you lucky skunk. Maybe you'll get more people onto it. The sweetness will convert them. Hey, I know someone like that. They have cold hands and boobs.

[samberrie]

Yes, G/R is the cute one, J/P is the sexy one, J/G is the most realistic one (in my opinion okay) and cute as well. And J/R is.. er.. okay. If it's platonic. But otherwise it's just.. no. P/G is ugh I love it I don't know what else to say about it I just love it. I guess it's the brotherly one. And the P/R is just no. I have to admit... I kind of like J/P NC-17 scenes the best because they're the easiest to write and get into. I mostly like fluffy G/R. Okay what am I talking about why am I going on about this. Oh thank you, sniffle. Characterization is the most important thing.
I know but you're British lol. And you know about naughty things. And cottaging is a naughty British thing. But then again, you weren't around in the 50's.
I did but I was joking. But now I'm not, I kind of do wanna do the walk-in thing now. Maybe I will. Wait you drew Reggie?? Wtf, why wouldn't you send that to me.

Oh yes, everything is going according to plan. I'm turning you on to all sorts of Beatle sex goodies. Ringo is pretty hairy penis. Hairy penis.

I wanna watch Paul say it now lol. To YouTube. I like saying it like fookin, it sounds so tasty.

No, don't hide yourself from me you little soul. You're beautiful, inside and out. Show me! .. show me your stirring.

Only if you'll be a mock-beta okay. Like if you catch any weird mistakes or incomplete sentences you have to tell me because I usually miss them. Should I send you the second chapter now. No! I'll make you wait.

Well no I'm just saying the use of the word intestines is weird. Lol it's a funny image penis. I automatically type penis and almost say penis out loud now a days.

You should start your own psychic business where you guess writer's favorite lines in books. If you guess right, they have to send you royalty checks for the rest of their lives.

There are actually a lot of people who I assume have read this over the past two days seeing as they all viewed my journal. They just never comment, sob.

[spitrainbows]

In my mind Ringo having a sexual relationship with anyone other than George just doesn't work lol. I just can't even imagine it. John is the biggest whore, he works with most of them. I feel like such a slash virgin, I haven't even read that many different pairings. Maybe that was an awkward way of wording it but I am. Why don't the big men touch me.
It happened a lot in the '60s too, don't forget. When Wilfrid Brambell aka Paul's grandfather got done for it, that was in 1962. In Shepherd's Bush as well, that's right round the corner. That's how I first heard of it lol. It turned my 13-year-old world upside down, I tell ya. Naughty British things are my forté, I'm chuffed you noticed. I was around in spirit sob sob.
Well you have to do the walk-in thing. Even if he's just with some random rent boy. Just do it you slag. lol I just forgot about it and it was pretty shite. I will get it later if you want. I was trying to write the thing and then started drawing a very manly chin and Reggie came from it. He was pretty fucking dapper I gotta say.

I used to be such a nice Catholic schoolgirl before you came along. I didn't even know what a clitorius was. Oh yes Ringo is a pretty hairy penis.

I know, it's beautiful. I do old Northern accents more than any other, probably. Like ahh fook off ya slag yer a dehhrty coont. My favourite.

Are you sure? All the older girls at school laughed at me when I did before. How can I overcome my quivering shame.

Okay I want this mock-beta job. For free. See? How fucking nice am I. Ugh send it to me now! Why would you make me wait sob. My vinyl hasn't even arrived yet, I'm gonna cry all over you and your chest.

Intestines are beautiful what do you mean. lol I know right. I keep on going to say penis and then having to correct myself. I accidentally said it to my other Sam the other week. It was like "I thought I already did penis" and then "Oh yeah and I have a girlfriend now wait the fuck you on about sista." To paraphrase the conversation.

So are you sending me money or what.

Just let them know you're aware of them, let them know you can see through their masks. Then they'll feel too guilty not to comment! See. It works.
