The Imps
From Compuserve's SF Lit Forum: "This is the home of the IMPs, those folks IMPatient to be published. The IMPs are an informal group of writers who talk about tips and techniques of writing, and have lots of fun while doing so." Somewhat of a misnomer, the Imps are an international group of speculative fiction writers whose members can boast many publishing credits.
