Chapter Text
Hello Everyone! Now I usually hate when authors put a little explanation before the story starts, and you guys are probably rolling your eyes right now but I feel the need to kind of clarify some things so please don't be too upset!
First off, like I mentioned in the summary, I did in fact, unfortunately, write the orphaned fic "And I Said, It's Alright" I ended up orphaning it after about eight?? chapters?? I hadn't really planned it out well, not knowing where I really wanted to go with it which resulted in me losing motivation. I also re-read it recently and I really dislike how quickly I moved everything, I probably won't get the timing perfect on this one, since eating disorders can develop very slowly, but like, who has time to read all that?? (but this time I promise he won't go from being fine to having a raging eating disorder haha). I was also new to the Beatles so some of the events and characterization is just so.....unique...to say the least. Also why did I have them rent a townhome?? Like that is so random, hotels would have been fine HAHAJ I don't know what possessed me to make them live in the suburbs.
So if anyone who read that story is reading this I hope this cleared it up, and for anyone knew who doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about, I'm deeply sorry. But anyway what I'm trying to say is this fic will loosely LOOSELY follow the other ones plot, just hopefully better and more accurate!!
Also not to get serious...But this will depict eating disorders in a really deep and upsetting way..I am going off my personal experience and videos I've watched and articles I've read about eating disorders. There will be no calorie counting, but there will be very disordered behaviors and thoughts so PLEASE if you are struggling or in recovery and you feel like this could make your ED worse I am begging you to not read this. I am planning on this fic to be upsetting because I feel like we as a society, (not to get all joker or whatever) paint eating disorders in an almost fun, not serious light, which is not true and I want to try to show that and hopefully make it relatable to people who have struggled and make them feel seen!! So if you are struggling and feel like this could make you worse, do not read this!!
I don't have every chapter planned out yet, but I have about five so far..and I'm on summer break so should be able to work on that and post a lot! I might be starting other Beatle fics soon and maybe other fandoms (?)
I'm rambling so just know the first actual chapter should come out today or tomorrow,,and I'll probably post every two to three days. Comments and questions are appreciated!!
