The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Tuesday, January 5 - Wednesday, January 6
Hi all! It’s that time again – we’ve had a couple of editors who have to move on due to real life issues, so once again we’re putting out the call for new blood! It’s amazing that Buffy fandom is still going strong twenty years after the shows ended, and the Herald is one of the things which keeps us connected. If you enjoy the hand-crafted, artisinal Buffyverse links delivered fresh to your internet doorstep by the Herald, consider volunteering!
