Has it really been a while since I last made a Q&A list? Wow. Anyways, here's my take on a brand new set of tag questions. A few of my friends have already done their own lists, so feel free to check them out as well. With that being said, let's go!

1. How many countries have you been to? As of this year, I have been to sixteen countries. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit more once my travel plans get revived.

2. What’s your favorite subject? A tie between science and history.

3. What is your nickname? Kell. I don't get called by that much, though.

4. Who is your best friend? Truth be told,...

Welcome to the new year, everyone! If you've read the title, then you know what I am about to share in this article. Without further ado, I'll get started.

First up is something which has been in the works for the last couple of months. And yes, this is pertaining to the Beatles Family Tales series: Aside from brand new adventures, the upcoming season will feature stories centering on what our favorite lads were up to before George's first meeting with Laura in the form of flashbacks, and as told by the man himself to his wife and daughter. I plan to have the first installment ready by either...

Well, here we are. This month officially marks ten years since I first joined Fanpop. Honestly, back then, I never thought I'd reach such a BIG milestone on the Internet. But now, I've finally done it! So, to celebrate and as promised, I'm going to reflect on how far I have come during my time here. Enjoy!

I became a member of this site in April 2013, when I was a young teenager and exploring other online places which I could regularly visit aside from Webkinz. Over the next few months, I mostly spent my time joining clubs and leaving comments. I also gained a steady number of followers.

Ring out the old, ring in the new! As we have officially entered 2023, it is time for me to once again give you all a heads-up on what's to come for this year. Without further ado, I'll get started.

Of course, I know you're looking forward to seeing how the saga for George and Pattie's wedding shall come into effect, eh? Good News: The first story will commence either during the middle or last part of this month! There will also be both new and returning characters, so keep your eyes peeled for them as everything unfolds!

And if it doesn't get any more exciting than that, this coming April will...

Without a doubt, the highlight of Rosie and Nicholas's very special outing was a visit to a Beatles-themed pop-up shop, where they bought some more merchandise to add to their collection. "I think we can agree that meeting the Fab Four during our time-travelling adventure to get our instruments back and them joining us in the present day afterwards was, hands down, the best experience of our lives!", remarked Rosie. Nicholas said, "Of course! And don't forget that tour we had together." Rosie replied, "Totally! I'm also glad that, while expanding said tours to other countries, they've been...

Rosie and Nicholas soon found themselves in an area they've never been to before, and this was none other than Leicester Square. Not only were they surrounded by more novelty restaurants and shops, but also a good number of broadway musical theaters. Rosie said, "Now this is something completely different!" Nicholas replied, "My thoughts exactly! I knew we'd discover that while we're here." Another thing then caught his attention. "And look! An Autumn-themed bazaar seems to be taking place, too. Would you like to check it out, love?" Rosie replied, "You betcha, dear friend!" To which they did....

After catching a bus at around noon, the two friends got off near the Piccadilly Circus roundabout and walked towards the famous animated billboards. Rosie asked, "When was the last time we were here?" Nicholas replied, "Hmm... If I remember it right, I think that was around 2018." Rosie said, "Woah. Then it definitely HAS been a while!" Nicholas nodded and said, "Yep!" They soon spotted a familiar shop. "Hey, isn't that the place where Scruffy and Buzzy foiled bastard Jason's schemes and eventually led to his arrest?", remarked Rosie. Nicholas took a closer look and replied, "Why yes, it is!...

The next morning, Rosie and Nicholas rode the Tube and got off at the nearest station to their college. After walking for ten minutes, they finally made it back to the neighbourhood they've known for four years. Nicholas said as they looked around, "Well, here we are once again. It's bloody amazing how this was our starting point for so many adventures during our music studies!" Rosie replied, "It sure was, sweet friend! Also, I'm glad that nothing seems to have changed since we graduated and left." Nicholas replied, "I'm glad about that, too, love." And so, they spent their visit by taking some photos while exploring the lobbies of both the buildings in which their classroom and dorm were located. They then ate breakfast at the same restaurant where Rosie had her first meal the day after arriving in England.

One year later...

Rosie and Nicholas had been enjoying their new life as Holland Park residents, and their psychedelic cottage was positively received not only by their friends who came to visit, but by their neighbours as well. While having dinner on the evening before their fifth friendship anniversary, Rosie said, "Man, I still can't believe tomorrow will officially mark five years since we met and became friends! Where has all this time gone?" Nicholas replied, "You can say that again, love! Speaking of, I think we should go back and see how our college's neighbourhood looks like these days....

...To Beatles Family Tales, that is! Greetings, everyone. I've got an exciting update to share with you all about what's in store for my fan fiction series next year. Here we go!

Since the start of last month and while I was writing "Living in a Yellow Submarine", I've been brainstorming a brand new story arc which will be themed around George and Pattie's (who have been dating since the Ireland Capers saga, for those who are curious) wedding. This is quite possibly my most-anticipated project to date, and it has been setting up smoothly so far! With that said, the following is how the arc will...

Hi, everyone. Kelly here. This is something which has been in my mind over the past few weeks, and I ask for your kind understanding on what you're about to read. Without further ado, let's begin...

First and foremost, you may have noticed or observed that I haven't been updating my club in terms of writing articles ever since I finished that story on Rosie and Nicholas's move to Holland Park back in January. Now there's a personal reason for this, and the time has come for me to get it off of my chest: I'm just not as enthusiastic in writing for this series these days as I used to be. Furthermore,...

It seems like such a short time ago when we first met. It's hard to believe that this October will mark five years since we first met.

Your friendship means a lot to me, Kelly. Since we have met, you have shown me kindness and unconditional love. We have supported each other and helped each other through challenges during the past five years.

Even though a lot has changed in the past five years, one thing has stayed the same. That's you, Kelly. You have been a constant in this ever-changing life. I am glad for that. Don't ever change. I would be depressed if you did.

As I have always said, I'm really glad we're friends. You have always been an example of what true friendship should be. No matter what happens in this world, I know that I can always count on you.

Happy Valentine's Day,
-Paul

Exactly an hour later, Rosie and Nicholas finished doing the groceries and looked for a place to have dinner. While walking, Nicholas said, "I don't know about you, love, but I feel like eating some pizza this time." Rosie replied, "Sure thing, buddy! That sounds lovely." Nicholas remarked, "Great!" At just the right moment, they found a pizza joint and proceeded inside. Additionally, they ordered spaghetti with meatballs and chicken wings as part of their meal. Rosie said after getting settled in their table, "This has been quite a day, isn't it?" Nicholas replied, "It certainly has, love....

The paint had already dried up by the time Rosie and Nicholas returned to the cottage, and they went straight inside to start decorating. Rosie took charge of placing the bedsheets and pillow cases onto their bed, while Nicholas assembled the lava lamps and mounted the wall plaques in the living room. It was once again a fun experience for them both with Timothy helping out along the way. The entire process was completed at almost 5:00 pm. As they drank water, Rosie said, "Well, this is it! Our cottage has been given a new life at last. I'm super impressed with our work and how everything turned...

With their stomachs satisfied from the delicious meal, Rosie and Nicholas continued walking to find the bedsheets, lamps, and decorations to complete their cottage's indoor makeover. As they went further into the neighborhood, Nicholas saw what appeared to be a small marketplace selling household goods. He said, "Hey, love! I found the perfect spot for buying our stuff." Rosie replied, "Wonderful! Let's check it out, then." With that, they crossed the street and proceeded to the market. There, they discovered a wide selection of items made just for the home as well as others that aren't available...

"Ta Da!", exclaimed Nicholas as he, Rosie, and Timothy finished painting their cottage. The end result was like what he had described: A groovy, psychedelic house that is a real feast for the eyes. Rosie remarked, "Ooh, it's super gorgeous! I'm really impressed with our hard work." Nicholas replied, "So am I, love! I enjoyed all that painting as well." "Woof! Woof!", added Timothy. Rosie then took another photo of the newly-painted cottage. Afterwards, Nicholas looked at his watch and said, "Well, we finished just in time for lunch. What do ye say we grab something to eat while letting the...

Inside the hardware store, Rosie and Nicholas were able to find all the paint colors that they need for the cottage. In addition, they bought brushes of various sizes and a ladder so that they could create different patterns all around it. Soon, everything had been paid. Rosie said, "This painting is going to be a lot of fun!" Nicholas replied, "It sure will be, love. I can already imagine how groovy our cottage will look once we finish!" Rosie replied with a wink, "That makes both of us, buddy!" Nicholas smiled and winked back in response. When they returned, Rosie took a new photo for a Before-and-After comparison while Nicholas set the ladder up and opened the paint cans. Then, with their hands holding the brushes, they got down to work. Timothy did his part, too!

A month after the Thorpe Park celebration...

The much-anticipated day has finally arrived for Rosie and Nicholas. They have moved out of their dorm along with Timothy after four years and are in the process of getting settled in their new cottage. As for what their other friends are up to, the Geordie twins have decided to return to their house in Newcastle while Bridget stayed with Zack to keep him company as he finishes the remainder of his college. The Beatles, on the other hand, are currently adjusting to their Shepherd's Bush bungalow as well. They've all promised to keep in touch with...

Hey, everyone! Here's my own take on the latest Q&A list made by Antonia. As always, many thanks to her for the great inspiration! Now let's get started, shall we?

1. What is your favorite sleeping position of all time? There's just something that I find comfortable about sleeping on both sides, so I'll go with that.

2. What are the three scents that you like? It's lavender, rose, and strawberry for me.

3. Would you rather stay in or go out on a Friday night? Well, it depends on what I feel like doing. I do go out most of the time on this day, though.

4. Out of the four seasons, what’s...
