Anyway, the two key things I learned from reading the fan fiction chapter in The Beatles and Fandom by Richard Mills are: 
We are NOT safe in our little hideaway blogs on Tumblr and
We are not merely fans we are academics, so next time you ask yourself ‘did I just waste an entire afternoon reading rpf about the beatles?’ no. No you did not. It was for research purposes. 
Also, if you wanna read the chapter in full Ive uploaded it to google docs. Treat yourself to a *wild* time, its fully insane but I kind of love it.

Beatles Monthly is significant for fan studies for two main reasons. Firstly, it was a forum for proto-feminist girl fans to express their sexuality – admittedly in a very euphemistic and wholesome manner – and secondly, the publication is an example of transformative or progressive nostalgia. […] Beatles Monthly is a forward-looking publication: the girl fans challenge Brian Epstein’s cosy boy-next-door image with letters and commentary that are feminist and transgressive. A scrutiny of Beatles Monthly demonstrates that new theoretical positions are constantly developing, new perspectives on fans and Beatlemania, more importantly a feminist discussion concerning sexuality and the incipient sexism of the music industry. It is not just relevant as a 1960s cultural artefact, but it is appropriated into new debates by fans. Beatles Monthly is an emancipatory feminist space, it is unmoored from its context in later years by technology and there is a sexual subtext: all of these aspects of fandom demonstrating that it is not an ‘inhibiting phenomenon’ rooted in nostalgia.

The Beatles organization cannily sells the fanzine to girl fans: the band is often pictured with girl fans (this is especially prevalent in issue No. 5), and the fanzine prints letters that obsess over the Beatles appearance. Alison from Stubbington, Hants, writes in issue No. 3, ‘if you take Paul’s hair and eyebrows, Ringo’s eye and neck and George’s chin and ears; put them together and you will have most handsome face to grace that has, or ever will, grace the pages of pop star mag’ (Beatles Monthly, No. 3, 1963).
Theresa Wareham, Dagenham, Essex, asks ‘if we can have one (a picture) of all of them in swimming trunks’ (Beatles Monthly, No. 3, 1963). By this stage of the publication the fans are calling the shots and demanding pictures of ‘Paul’s handsome suntanned face’ (Beatles Monthly, No. 5, 1963); the Beatles ‘improperly clad’ (Beatles Monthly, No. 8, 1964); Diane Dickinson, Norbury, London, writes that ‘I heard on the good ol’ London Transport the other day: “That Paul Macwhatsit is the most ‘ansome feller out”’. She continues to reveal her nose fetish: ‘the other one with the kissable konk (i.e. RINGO … don’t mind me, I’ve got a thing about noses’ (Beatles Monthly, No. 16, 1964). Letters would usually start with ‘Dear gorgeous, lovable Beatles’ and end with ‘lots of love and kisses’, Gillian and Lynn (Beatles Monthly, No. 20, 1964). Issue No. 4 has a fan describing herself as a ‘complete Beatles parasite’ (Beatles Monthly, No. 4, 1964); the language is so heavily charged with repressed sexuality that in my notes for this issue I wrote about a ‘double-centre spread of Porn’; this was in fact a Freudian slip, I meant to write ‘double page centre spread of Paul’.
