Recently my friends and I have played off and on an episodic campaign designed more around when we feel in the mood to play, but not so much any serious adventure path. It's short, sweet, and one that can be picked up and dropped with little to no fuss.
My question concerns how I can get in touch with folks from Paizo about letting them pick apart my brain like a psionic truth-seeker. Or... however they want to go about it. I'm not a published author, yet, and while I'd like to be, it's sometimes tough getting the ball rolling.
In spite of this, I would like to submit an idea or two... or ten... to Paizo's good administrators and other in-charge people, or find out ways I can go about proving myself first if it is needed. I'm not new to the game, but sadly I'm still new to the forums. I'm not sure where to go, and as it's late and I should be sleeping to get ready for work tomorrow, I find my brain won't STOP TALKING! and here I am, burning the candle to a stump.
If anyone, Paizo employee or otherwise, has advice, an open ear, or constructive criticism to offer, I would greatly appreciate the help and/or advice.
Also... I appologize for the wordiness. I get wordy when I'm tired.

Awesome; thanks for the help in this matter. Another random question; what would everyone say is the closest to a Scottish/Irish type of people would there be in Golarion?
I'm be inclined to say either Varisia and that area, or even Nirmathas. As I have ancestry from there, I'm just kind of in the mood to play a Scotsman-esque character.

There doesn't really seem to be a direct parallel to the Gaels in Golarion. The ethnic groups of the Inner Sea Region tend to encompass several different cultural paralels; The Ulfen are sort of Germanic/Slavic, with a strong Scandinavian or Russian flavor, depending on the country; the Chelaxians mostly blend elements of Mediterranean romance language speaking cultures (the Romans, the Spanish, the Italians); the Taldans are (perhaps bizarrely) sort of (Byzantine) Greek/French; the Kelishites are Persian/Arabian, and so on.
The Celts, however, seem to be mostly unrepresented. The Kellids of old Sarkoris (the land that is now the Worldwound) might be the closest fit, but they're definitely more Conan the Barbarian than Conán mac Morna.
