The Daily Snitch: Sunday 2 August
Follow the Daily Snitch on LJ, DW, Twitter, and on tumblr.
The Daily Snitch is looking for 1-2 more editors to do one edition per week each. Entries for the editions are collected with the Google Reader Feedly, so you don't have to know HP fandom inside out to be an editor. Putting together one edition takes about one hour, a bit longer in the beginning. If you might be interested in joining me, or want more info about what it entails, please email dailysnitch AT gmail DOT com.
