The reason you see what you see in the critique threads is probably due in part to /lit/ having a reputation for thoughtful discussions (which is not unfounded), but this reputation is unfortunately assumed by--and I hope this doesn't sound insulting here--young, green writers to be omniscience worth heeding or at the very least some sound advice for everything involving pages.

Most of these young, green writers don't have the opportunity to have a thoughtful critique on their writing so they come to /lit/ for guidance, for our "omniscience", for critiques on their vampire stories and their zombie stories and their meticulous-cataloging-of-everything-in-a-room stories.

The talented writers on /lit/ have enough sense and confidence in their writing that they don't wish to throw it away (lose one's claim to ownership) by posting it on the internet, on /lit/.

And understand this, I'm not saying /lit/ is full of wise sagely boys, Buddy Glass sorts, but to the idiot the average man IS a wise tutor.
