Literature CR Update - October 2011

Hello all! As you've probably guessed by the title of the journal and the Community Relations journal skin, this is the monthly update from the literature community volunteers.

Goodbye and Hello
We saw several folks leave the volunteer team this past month, so if you haven't already, please thank KeremGo, bdwfh, FantasyStock, Timothy-Sim, MacRebisz, and the literature community's own nycterent for the time and dedication put into taking care of the community.

We also saw bohobella join the team to help watch over the chats and forums, and deshrubber and FritsPlays have taken on gallery roles as well! deshrubber is now watching over Traditional Art with Mollinda, and FritsPlays is keeping a watchful eye on the Architecture and Urban & Rural categories of the photography gallery.
