The site is nicely set up, easy to navigate, and splendidly designed: I didn't get that hokey self-pub feel at all. I would liken it to a Goodreads for short story writers. It's a non-paying social site for the most part, but it is another avenue for promotion. It has some author friendly areas as well: there is a book review section, an advice section, and a news section. It seems to be in Beta right now, but the selection is quite nice. If I find something I like, I might just review it on the peeps, not to mention that I have a few experimental shorts lying about with nothing to do and nowhere to go. -- c.anne.gardner

I just discovered this site as well. It's very beta, with most of the features "coming soon," but it's a great example of site design and making self-publishing more legit. Hope this one takes off.
I really liked it too. I was serious about going on walk about to see if they had anything worth reviewing. I have been known to indulge in a short story from time to time and have reviewed a few collections here on the peeps.
