Draft Invitation

[Cindy C.]

Hi, all,

The plumber is here trying to unclog the Mother of All Clogs so that 
I can use the kitchen sink.  And the dishwasher.  And the washing 
machine.  And *bathe.*

So I took the opportunity to draft an invitation to send to whoever 
we decide to invite.  What do you think?  Suggestions and comments?

Cindy

Hi, [Wide-Eyed Prospective FP Team Member],

Now that OoP is just around the corner, the "Fantastic Posts" team 
is trying to gear up and get back to work.  You remember 
the "Fantastic Posts And Where To Find Them" page, don't you?  Sure 
you do!  That's the collection of essays that directs new members to 
some of the best the main list has to offer.  The "Fantastic Posts" 
are at:  http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/faq/

Gorgeous, isn't it?  

Anyway, we're expecting lots of posting on the main list after June 
21, and we're hoping and expecting that many of those posts will 
indeed be *Fantastic.*  We'll need to update the existing "Fantastic 
Posts" essays and write a whole bunch of new ones.  In fact, we 
*still* don't have an essay devoted to *Harry Potter* himself!  Yes, 
we have our work cut out for us, no doubt about it.

And that's where you come in.  We'd love to have you join 
the "Fantastic Posts" team.  We can't offer you a salary.  Or an 
impressive title.  Or an office.  Or a secretary.  Or benefits.  Or 
perks of any kind, really.  But we can offer you the chance to work 
on whatever essay strikes you as most interesting.  And you'll be in 
fine company –- right now, the active team members are: Ali, 
Catherine, Cindy, Dicentra, Eileen, Elfundeb, Elkins, Eloise, Heidi, 
Joy, Kimberly, Penny, Paul, Pip!Squeak, Porphyria, Sheryll and 
Tabouli.  

And boy, do we have fun!  We have so much fun, in fact, that the 
time seems to fly right by!  Our work consists of reading the main 
list and spotting posts that are funny, clever, thought-provoking or 
otherwise memorable.  Then we write essays on various subjects or 
characters in the Potterverse.  We edit each other's essays, and we 
do things like HTML coding and link checking.  You can put in as 
much or as little time as you like, and you can work on an essay on 
your own or with a group.  We're very flexible about most everything.

So what do you say?  Would you like to join the "Fantastic Posts" 
team?

Let me know and I'll send you an invitation to join.
