Giles: Ms. Calendar, I'm sure your computer science class is fascinating, but I happen to believe that one can survive in modern society without being a slave to the, um, idiot box.
Ms. Calendar: That's TV. The idiot box is TV. This (indicates a computer) is the good box!
Giles: I still prefer a good book.

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!

XANDER: We're getting married.
DAWN: Oh my god.
TARA: Congratulations!
WILLOW: That ... that's ... wow.
XANDER: It's a big wow.
ANYA: I ... I thought you were waiting for the right moment.
XANDER: I did.
BUFFY: (quietly to Giles) Did you know about this?
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?
GILES: Tell no one.
