''With Strings Attached, or The Big Pink Job'' is possibly the most famous single [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] RealPersonFic out there, and certainly one of the oldest known. Aviva Rothschild, who wrote the first-ever bibliography of graphic novels, started writing ''Strings'' in 1980 at the age of 15 and just completed it in early 2009.

Half the story is available on [[http://www.rationalmagic.com Rational Magic]], the author's website, and the entire work can be purchased as a downloadable PDF or a thick paperback book.
