Your rant sounds more in tune with halfchan.
As cute a term as e/lit/ists may be, I believe it to be misappropriated. If anything, we here aim for the vulgarisateurs of literature.
And we are better for it.
As for writers and writing, we have two problems. The first is that we have no means to cultivate the would be practitioners. From the beginning, imageboards and imageboard culture was all about the artists and the visual arts. All else was a one off, and we are even further off than that.
Second, there are a host of sites dedicated to writers and writing of various skill levels, from beginner to intermediate. After that the real market awaits.
What have we to offer a beginner?
The closest thing I've seen are draw quests, and here the real draw remains with the visual art.
I hate to dwell on the lands of you-know-where, but there are lessons to be learned from from their past and current state. I firmly believe one fundamental mistake made early on was the banning of fan-fiction discussion. All this accomplished was to enshrine a phantom of short term quality for short term gain, altogether an attitude ensuring of long term stagnation. No matter, with the proliferation of dedicated fan-fiction sites even that is now an opportunity forever lost.
All that remains to us is our own offbeat approach as a guide and general resource. I wish we could be more, but we are in competition with better sites and services. We are not in competition with other imageboards, though.
Not that it matters.
For your second to last, we remain one avatar of that superlative waster of time chans were always meant to be. Lest you forget: time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
And – or? – lastly, no need to be sellan' momma's ass if you are hell bent on publication. Stick with that time honored path via the means of so called degeneracy, and your boiling pot shall never run out.
