You're right, I need more roadmap details on the site. I will add detail this evening.

All you really need to do is publish good work and pay 6 cents a word for it as promised.

Writers will beat your door down if you do that much.

Chicken and egg. The majority of good writers are paranoid and would rather publish with established platforms.

Providing proof that this is legitimate is pretty necessary.

Just creating an 'About Us' page with some info on who you guys are would help. Currently the site is pretty much a faceless oblivion.

Don't get me wrong, I like the concept, and would be interested in writing for you to get my name out there, but as others note, losing control of our work is a huge fear - if we as writers willingly submit our work into a black hole, that's it.
