Have you considered creating something akin to doesthedogdie.com? (Not on that catch-all mess of a site, but a new single-topic thing.)

A key goal of such a site would be the hope that the existence of it might go viral (because the idea that someone would care to create such a weird thing has some novelty to it), with the hope that just maybe writers/storytellers that hear about it might in turn be prompted to think about doing something different or more interesting.
