We often try to reach out to people to write one-shot columns for Comixpedia and will still do so but I know we have a lot of talented readers and some of you might be eager to share some of your ideas and experience with the Comixpedia audience. If you think you might be interested you should email me about your idea(s) and we can figure out if it's something that would fit in Comixpedia. (XEREXES AT COMIXPEDIA DOT COM)
We still have room for one such piece in our upcoming January issue if anyone is really eager to take a shot at this. We can also make room in other upcoming issues. Although these one-shot columns don't necessarily have to fit an issue's theme, it can't hurt if they do so let me copy in the themes for the first six issues of Comixpedia next year:
JAN. - THE FUNNY ISSUE. A focus on humor in webcomics.
FEB. - EXPERIMENTAL WEBCOMICS: TO THE INFINITE CANVAS AND BEYOND. A focus on experimental webcomics including the infinite canvas concept and other innovations in the form of webcomics.
MAR. - ACTION HERO ISSUE. A focus on action-oriented webcomics, including heroes and superheroes.
APR. - THE WOMEN ISSUE. A focus on women in webcomics.
MAY - COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATIVE WEBCOMICS. A focus on collaboration in webcomics, including both traditional partnerships (i.e., writer/artist) but also wider community involvement in the creation of a webcomic.
JUN. - THE META ISSUE. A focus on formalistic experiments with the form of comics and characters in webcomics, including fourth-wall webcomics.

Well thought out observations I should imagine, much like Rob Baulder's contribution this last time 'round.
Now, if I only had a time machine...

In the summer, I find I have time for things.
So, X, I'd sure appreciate if you'd let me know about doing something for the June, or possibly May or July issue. I'd really like to do this, if Ic can figger out something good to write about.
