What a busy Autumn this has been! We released the first issue of SmackTalk in September, and were rewarded with glowing reviews, tons of feedback, and most importantly, a lot of interest. We're no one-trick pony, though, we've got a great issue for you this month, and we're already planning the December/January issue.

Speaking of which, we have a bunch of new features that we need you to help us out with:

• Advice: we're planning an advice column to answer everything from tech questions to life issue questions. Relatively serious questions are encouraged, and if you have them, send 'em our way!
• Letters to the Staff: All of your questions about SmackTalk, Articles, Previous Issues and Staff Members can be answered here. Please note: Job and participation queries should be posted on the forum.

All questions can be emailed to smacktalkstaff AT gmail.com.

As incentive for Smack Jeeves members to support the site, we will be giving review requests from donators priority starting in December. Remember, we'll be having another cover contest in December, which will be announced on the Smack Jeeves forum. The theme will NOT be Christmas/Holiday related.

On a less comic related note, I'd like to remind American readers that November is voting month. For all of those who are 18, please vote. It's vital you make yourself heard this year.
