Sounds like a good idea. :)

So particular thanks to [livejournal.com profile] lazy_neutrino who's had to suffer several fics, [livejournal.com profile] lareinenoire, and [livejournal.com profile] maple_clef on LJ, Beth at Sugar Quill, PirateQueen , loverlydaisy520, belovedranger, rubraaura, mrssnape1414, and shiiki at Checkmated, ladybug at PhoenixSong.net, Taja at The Quidditch Pitch, [livejournal.com profile] purpleygirl for Tykepicking in NTLJ, Wes Viner for early NTLJ, and anyone elsewhere I may have overlooked. ;)

Lyrics: Last time [livejournal.com profile] lazy_neutrino and [livejournal.com profile] maple_clef spotted Us and Them by Pink Floyd from Dark Side of the Moon in 1973. So in honour of the day here's some lyrics that a beta might hear (whether they'd actually want to is another matter, of course :D):

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two.
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round ...
(1960s)

I know one! It's Paperback Writer by the Beatles.

YES! :) (It's sad how few of these I've recognized.)

Yep and yep. I'm horrified by how few I've got as well!

I know the song again! Yay, my all-time favourite band!
Actually, the title of this was the first thing I consciously translated into English, because I didn't get what the first word of the title meant :D

Far too late to be worth pointing out that it's 'Paperback Writer', but nice to see some Beatles lyrics, especailly such apposite ones.

Yeah, but I was eleven and hardly knew any English at the time. And I was really wondering what "writing paper back" meant...

Too late, as usual.

And that's the only one I've recognised so far.

I am a very sad person.
