Maggie May —
A Universe from the Mind of Jake Rivers
This is the collection universe for authors that are participating in my third semi-annual "invitational."
The first two invitational results are in the This Bed of Rose's and El Paso Universes.
Stories for this collection will show up starting in late November, 2007.
If an author wants to write a story in this universe, please contact me. Description of stories listed below.
Regards, Jake Rivers
Several authors are coming out with stories based on the various versions of “Maggie May” or “Maggie Mae.” The story titles will be: "Maggie May - author's initials" e.g. "Maggie May – JR."
The stories are based on any version or combinations of versions. Some of the possibilities are songs by: Rod Stewart, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Suzanne Vega and any of the various traditional versions from England (an early version of this song dates to before 1830, and it was often sung as a capstan shanty. It later became popular in the 1950s & 60s amongst the Liverpool skiffle groups). There are other versions I haven’t listed.
This story is part of the Jake Rivers semi-annual writing "invitational" and is based on the lyrics of the song Maggie Mae, in this case as sung by Rod Stewart.
This is my submission to an invitation from Jake Rivers to write a story about the song Maggie May. I hope you enjoy my version based on the Rod Stewart hit.
