is a Art site, but then what is the definition of art? One of the definitions of this word is the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. This doesn’t state that it only applies to paintings or drawings, in my view this could apply for any type of media, including Film, games and even Written works.

I wish there was more love for writing on here. There was only one person I met on here who had a passion for writing as much as I did, and we're best friends now. (We send each other our stories and such, to get critique, since nobody on here wants to read our stories.)
I also think that Music is an art as well
I can't draw/paint/whatever but I CAN write (i hope)
It is a totally different kind of composition, a different technique. Literature is to be separated as being a different kind of art, not just style. I must say saying it like that is a bit insulting.
Literature in all its kinds is a form of art on its own. All three kinds of art (there are three in first division, not two as dA claims, poetry and prose is the common misconception), drama, epic, and lyric are subdivided and branched just like every other branch of art. Different style is for instance European cartoon and manga, yet comparing Picasso to Tolstoy would seem off as we're then talking about different kinds of art. When even comparing drama and epic is difficult enough alrready, then comparing a painting to a poem? Sure it works. Existence of mixed genres prove that.
Also, film, in fact, is constituted a kind of literature. Most Hollywood movies are the reverse set of the traditional drama scheme with a happy end instead of the tragic end in most cases. Literally the "dream factory". I doubt that games are constituted as such, yet seeing as how many games inspire stories, have stories of their own and are in some cases turned into movies (if they're not too long, which for instance Final Fantasy most of the times is), it can be constituted as such.
And by the definition of art you gave, most modern poetry wouldn't be seen as such since a lot of poets here now write to express the frailty of the human mind. "Beauty? What for if it's just a facade that is soon torn away? Psychoanalysis taught us a lot." Pretty much how one can summarise that trail of thought. So satire as well wouldn't be art going by that logic though politics always has been one of the many topics of art, not just love or other emotions. Many tend to forget that.
