Thirding critters and updating the thread.
While no longer partnered with PA, the same company operates Publishersbid.com which seems to work with vanity and self publishing companies. (I am not going to give them my physical address to register and find out, and then get tons of self-pub junk mail. But they advertise "affordable" quotes from publishers and not ones which, y'know, pay the author.)
Posting as recommended by fanstory results in loss of first publication rights, and the site now advertises the content writers submit to readers, and lots of them. The site supports sharing sites like digg, which could bring in enough readers to not only lose the first pub rights, but any chance of publication.
When these options were first released, the default setting for all work posted was to give up pub rights by making the work publicly viewable, visible to search engines, and to be posted with form links to submit work to sharing sites like digg. The default setting was switched to off after some complaints by the few remaining serious writers, but its revealing to see what the site originally wanted.
Work that is posted in the semi private workshop receives almost no feedback. There are still pieces over a year old waiting for their reviews.
The actual private workshop requires additional time spent reviewing or more real cash to use, and you have to personally invite the members you want to review it. You could do the same thing for free and faster by just making friends and emailing them, but the site prohibits sharing any contact info, email addresses, or urls, and seems to monitor private messages to catch people attempting to do this.
Reviews are mostly done on the honor system, and dishonorable people with half a brain can get away with copy/pasting prewritten reviews forever, as long as they don't do so too rapidly or directly insult someone. As such, many reviews are merely vague sycophancy stretched out to exceed the site's very lenient minimum length requirement.
