Darla: What?
Angelus: Shouldn't we be killing Holtz?
Darla: I know, but it's just so much fun ruining his life. He's like family now.

Giles: Uh, I wish we had time to celebrate properly. However, we have two victims: Jeff Orkin and, uh, now Platt. Uh, maybe there's something they had in common.
Faith: Missing internal organs.
Giles: Besides that.
Oz: Debbie. Well, victim number one, Jeff. He was in jazz band with us. They used to horse around.
Faith: They were screwing?
Oz: I don't think so, but he hid her music comp book once.
Buffy: And we know that Debbie knew Platt. I mean, she was seeing him and way vocal about not having love for the guy.
Oz: Add this and stir. I just saw Debbie a minute ago sporting a nasty black eye.

Our floating backup editor

nondenomifan helped us get through a busy summer, and is moving on. And former chief editor and now regular Sunday editor

thenewbuzwuzz is looking to retire from editing sometime soon. Many thanks to both of them!

This means we are looking for someone to step in as Sunday editor or potentially take another day of the week. (Other good options right now are Monday or Wednesday.)

Being a Herald editor means making one newsletter post a week. After some training and a few test posts, it will generally take roughly 2-4 hours (once a week) depending on one's level of perfectionism. Most of the potential links come to us pre-gathered in one tidy Dreamwidth reading page. You'll also have help with turning the day's selection of links into a formatted list: you can either paste everything into our HTML template that already contains all the formatting tags, or use some alternative tools (including the fabled Pinboard!) that will do part of the pasting and sorting for you. We're happy to explain and show how everything works from the ground up. :)

If once a week sounds like a bit too much, we are also open to training a new floating backup editor, and a new tumblr-only volunteer. (Tumblr-only volunteers help by reblogging things on a particular day to the sunnydale-digest.)

To find out more, feel free to contact me (burnhername) by commenting on this post. Or you can reach out via email at sunnydaleherald@gmail.com. You can also send sunnydaleherald an ask on tumblr.

Being an editor means being a part of a long tradition of supporting the Buffyverse fandom. The Sunnydale Herald is one of the longest running fandom newsletters, publishing on various sites since 2004! It would be awesome to hear from you, and you won't have to commit to anything until you're sure!

CORDELIA: My egg?
BUFFY: Yeah. Your egg. The one Mr. Whitmore gave you.
CORDELIA: It's in my bear.
BUFFY: So, your egg isn't acting odd or anything?
CORDELIA: It isn't acting anything. It's an egg, Buffy, it doesn't emote.

GILES: No. Unless I blocked it from my memory, much as I will Xander's vigorous use of his tongue.
(Giles removes his glasses and begins to clean them. Buffy watches this with an expression of outrage.)
BUFFY: Is that why you're always cleaning your glasses? So you don't have to see what we're doing?

MASTER: Yes. Come forth, my child. Come into my world.
BUFFY: I don't think it's yours just yet.
MASTER: You're dead!
BUFFY: I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.
MASTER: You were destined to die! It was written!
BUFFY: What can I say? I flunked the written.

Current Mood: thankful

It's been an honor helming

su_herald these past few years, but—alas—my attention is increasingly on offline pursuits, including a new full-time job that will prevent me from being as available as the Herald deserves. So our Wednesday editor

burnhername has kindly agreed to step up as the next chief editor. burnhername has already been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to improve sundry things and support her fellow editors, so between her and our wonderful editor team, I'm certain the Herald will be in good hands.

I will still make newsletter posts for now, but the chief editor handles most of the Herald's communication and admin, and that'll be burnhername's wheelhouse now. So when you need to contact the person in charge around here, please use one of these contact options:

send a tumblr ask to sunnydaleherald,
email us at sunnydaleherald@gmail.com
or contact burnhername directly on tumblr
or here on Dreamwidth.

Links for including in the newsletter can still be submitted via our tumblr submission box (this should work even if you're not logged in to tumblr, and you don't have to provide a real email address if you don't want to) or by email—just remember that the Herald's email address is now sunnydaleherald@gmail.com.

WILLOW: Do you think you're ready to fight Angel?
BUFFY: I wish people would stop asking me that. Yes, I'm ready. I'm also willing and able. Just the one test I might actually pass.
WILLOW: Don't say that! You're gonna pass everything. I will get you through this semester if I have to sweat blood.
XANDER: Do you think you're likely to? 'Cause I'd like to be elsewhere.
WILLOW: It was only metaphor blood.
OZ: I think you'd sweat cute blood.
