I feel that a creative writing section would be a great add to the Off Topic forums. A place where writers can share their non-fiction and fictional story's without the trouble of the spam forum.
If memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure there was a section like this a while ago, and failed. Not enough activity. This section can accomodate your pieces: http://sythe.org/forumdisplay.php?f=473
I was thinking the same thing, but that section is for music and poetry, I would rather not soil it with storys.
If a section like I am describing has been tried and failed, then by all means simply lock this. I recollect no such section, but there is a lot from the past I missed.
