What do you think we should do next? I'd love to hear suggestions, nominations, encouragement, offers from the people who really matter: our readers. Would you like to read themed issues (and if so on what themes)? Should we publish less frequently but, say, increase our pay rate? Who would you really like to see co-editing a special issue of the magazine some day? Can't promise to act on all of your suggestions, but we will take them seriously!
