Hey bojangles,
I hope this is the right way to go about contacting you (apologies if it's not!) I've just been looking at the Smogon Mentorship Program stuff, and I thought I'd send you a message just to say hey, and let you know that I'm interested in trying to get involved in the Smogon community. I've been lurking around here for absolutely ages, but always been a bit intimidated when it came to getting involved. Just finished pouring over Issue #27 of The Smog, and by the end I was thinking, damn. I need to get in on this Smogon stuff, haha. I try my hand at a bit of competitive battling every now and then, so I've got a decent idea of how it works. If at all possible, I'd really love to get involved in Contributions & Corrections - I work as an editor part-time (meanwhile studying at university in Australia), and the crisp, precise grammar in everything Smogon produces is always such a pleasure to read! I saw that you used to be the editor for The Smog, and so I thought you might be a good place to start asking for a couple of tips about how to get involved.
Thanks for giving this a read!
