Are the 4chan masses just really shy

or do you people read nothing? Why is this place so devoid of any kind of real content?

I feel like books are too long. Also they often don't give you a good reason to continue reading them after you started. "Ok, this is a science fiction universe. The characters are ... smart, huh? Will that be it or is there something else coming up?"

I imagine it to be hard to come up with something interesting in every sentence or paragraph in a 300 page book. Instead people should just write short stories, like the copy-paste stories on 4chan. There is so much you can put into a single paragraph if you try hard enough. Limitations like that enhance creativity. I don't mind reading something several times if it also keeps my attention in the first go-through.

I wish there'd be a forum for freestyle shortstory writing so I could learn. Fanfiction seems to kindof miss the point, since it's the world/characters I'm interested in - the plot is merely a tool to try and introduce me to them.
