A huge site covering fan's written pieces realting to anime, books, comics, games, movies, plays and TV shows. You can read other fan's submissions and submit your own works.
I don't think the site is censored, although it does have a ratings system, so you may want to supervise your children's access.

How do I swap books?
The swap process works in the same way that you'd normally swap something. You find something you like, you ask to swap, another ReadItSwapIt members chooses something of yours and you exchange the goods. The only difference with ReadItSwapIt is that the swaps are done over the internet.
