I'd like to begin with an apology -- some of you may have noticed that we published a little late this month, and many of our columns are not quite as polished as we'd like. I'm afraid several staffers -- myself, unfortunately, included -- were running behind this month. Things were further complicated when our newest Staffer, author of this month's Your Story and our review of Queen of the Damned, got rather suddenly and seriously ill. If you like any of these things (the review comes particularly recommended), please feel free to send her Get Well wishes! I'd also like to issue a plea on behalf of the columns themselves.... Send us your submissions! Guidelines for making recommendations, offering a story for Your Story, sending a letter to Dear Klimpen, or submitting a Community Profile can be found in their respective columns, and the staff itself can only do so much without outside contributions. And, as always, feel free to join in the discussion on our forums!
