Digest for 12 July 2007 through 11 August 2007 (part I) Announcements:
| .: |
Site Upgrade
While under reconstruction, we upgraded to Efiction 3.3. With it comes several changes: - You can now list your fic by time period within a category. This is especially helpful for Next Generation fics.
- You can now be notified when an author replies to a review. Edit preferences in your profile to turn this feature on.
- Multi-chaptered fics now have a table of contents so you may view the individual chapter summaries and click on the chapter you would like to read. Edit preferences in your profile to turn this feature on.

Deathly Hallows
Be aware that summaries and character listings may contain spoilers. There is a warning for "Spoilers for DH" that authors should use for at least six months.
In our forums, there is a chapter-by-chapter discussion of DH. You must have a forum user ID to participate, but please participate. We expect some lively discussions. |

Site Survey
Due to the explosion in membership since we last posted our survey (nearly 800 members in the last month alone), we're putting it up again.
We'd like to get as many new members giving us feedback as possible.
Thank you to everyone participating this time around and to everyone who participated the first time (we haven't forgotten you).

New Journals
Due to the uncertainty at LiveJournal, The Captains have created mirror journals at GreatestJournal and InsaneJournal: IJ: Captain's Pitch, Quaffle Talk
GJ: Captain's Pitch, Quaffle Talk Feel free to friend them. As always, membership in the Captain's Pitch community is open to members of The Quidditch Pitch. |

Beta Queue
Captain Annie spent hours some time this morning sorting through the submission queue. Nearly all the fics submitted while we were closed have now been processed, but please be patient with out beta staff. We've been closed for a month and they're going to feel a bit overwhelmed. |

Digest for 08 July 2007 through 14 July 2007 Announcements:

Site Closure
The Captains would like to announce that The Quidditch Pitch will be closing for submissions beginning 12 July 2007 at 6:00 p.m. EDT and will reopen 12 August 2007 at 8:00 p.m. EDT.
This will allow the staff and Captains time to see Order of the Phoenix, anticipate the new book, and to read and absorb Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- not to mention making any necessary canon-based changes to our site.
We look forward to rejoining you on August 12th for your stories and thoughts on the new book.
If you have questions please email The Captains.
Please note that we've extended our planned closure to include time to upgrade our site. We hope to make it bigger, better, faster, stronger ... oops, sorry, got carried away. After 20 months and nearly 8300 members, we need to expand. |

Helping Fellow Harry Potter Fans
Blind bookworms who prefer Braille have historically suffered such a sorry fate. Only a tiny percentage of books available in print are ever made into Braille and usually the publication takes place long after the ink-and-paper edition sees the light of day. Aside from the wait, these books are really expensive: each copy of HP7 in Braille costs $65 to make.
Please visit this entry for more information on how you can help! |

From today until the site reopens on 12 August 2007, we'd like to get as many members giving us feedback as possible.
