Thank you.

Huge News
Hello everyone, as you are all aware I run this little newsletter...which with near 200 friends is not so little anymore.

With my budding social life (stop the laughter) and education in the back of my mind I gave out a call for some help on my own journal. And so far...I've gotten some. But I'll stop babbling and get to the point, on Monday sd_herald will become the reading list for the new Sunnydale Herald which is located at su_herald. It is a community, but please don't join, just friend and spread the word that this is where updates, starting Monday will be made by me (spuzz), dodyskin and hopefully another editor.

We still need a couple more people to be backups or standbys, or to simply help out around the community, like icons and such.
( information )

So the basic facts again:
New journal: su_herald, run by me, dodyskin and yet unamed editor.
Old journal: A reading journal for the editors
What?: The format is still the same, fear not, RPGs still involved, links and info still given. I'm still the boss (yay!).
What?: Questions in comments please. And pimp. Pimp. Pimp.
