Editor's Notes
We want you to use us. No, really this is your magazine and your opportunity to share your voice. We want your feedback, whether you love
or hate something you read or you just have some story ideas. You know that "letter to the editor" page you see in a lot of magazines: those letters that drone on and on about how amazing an article was in last month's issue and then the occasional critical thinker who calls the publication moronic. Yeah, we don't have that page, but we still want to know what you're thinking.
Good things come from interaction. Three weeks ago, Jayplay reader Stephanie Filardo, Owensville, Mo., junior, called to tell us she wanted to give away her engagement ring from her former fiance. We ran a contest in our Feb. 10 issue asking readers to share their love stories and the reader with the best one would receive the ring. Filardo picked her favorite couple and we announce the winners on page 14.
Starting with this issue, we'll also give you the writer's contact information after each article. The writers are here to entertain you, so if you think an article sucks, let them know. Likewise, tell the writer if the piece changed your life, you now consider him or her your hero or you're constructing a shrine in the article's honor. You can also send in your love questions to Bitch + Moan on page 9. Columnists Chris and Jessi give informative answers while trying not to sound like smart-asses. They usually fail.
And then there's me. If there's anything you want to say but don't know whom to direct it to, you can e-mail me. If it's praise, I'll take credit. And if its criticism, I'll make up someone to blame it on.
