April Challenge: The Beatles

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

It's my favorite time of the month again -- time to start the newest challenge at pd_playtime! This month's challenge will run from 1 April 2008 to 30 April 2008.

The procedure, as always, is to grab a prompt that strikes your fancy and comment to claim it. Please be as creative as you like with these prompts, within the guidelines -- our goal is to inspire you!

Members of the community can post their challenge entries directly here; non-members should post their entries in their own journals (or fic journals, or what have you) and link them to us in the comments of this post. At the end of the challenge, we'll post a masterlist of all submitted entries to the community.

pd_playtime is invite-only, but we are always pleased to have non-members participate -- that helps us find new, exciting authors to invite!

Challenge Four:

We're giving the Beatles a chance to invade the world of Pushing Daisies with their genius lyrics, rocking guitars, British charm -- and oh yeah, their fabulous sex appeal. From 1962 to 1970 they released twelve original albums, chock full of some of the best love songs in musical history. Pick any Beatles song title you like, and see what kind of fic it inspires you to create. (The Beatles discography on Wikipedia is a good place to start.) Have fun! Rock out! Write the sex!

"Something" - claimed by mistress_britt
"Paperback Writer" - claimed by trolliepop
