The Daily Snitch

Thank you, everybody, who filled out the dailysnitch Reader Poll. The poll is still open. Please give us your input if you haven't yet done so.

The dailysnitch is still looking for a full time editor for the Monday/Tuesday edition.
Entries for the editions are collected with the Google Reader feedly, so don't feel you have to know HP fandom inside out to be an editor. To put together one edition takes about one hour, a bit longer in the beginning. If you want to get involved, this is a job for you. Right now, your co-editors are kitty_fic and vaysh and we'd love to have you. Please mail us at dailysnitch@gmail.com if you have questions or if you want to join the Editor Team.
