Of course, this isn't story feedback for an incest story, it is law review.
"Hey, I thought rape and sexual violence was not allowed to be published here!
Oh, wait, never mind, that's just Laurel setting rules and not caring if they're ever enforced.
Carry on and enjoy."--->Lovecraft68
Wait, there's a rule against it? But...but...there is a whole entire section for it!
Also, I re-read the submission guidelines and there seems to be no rule--either in name or practice--against that sort of material. The only limits posted are bestiality and underage players, both of which I have no interest in anyway.
Just so other people know, and don't stray from writing their own nonconsent story if they so desire...

Thanks for the comments Barry...The only "taboo but not incest" stories that I've seen involve in-laws. Or I guess you could count step/adoptive relations if you think only biological relations constitute incest. I haven't seen anything "taboo" where "keeping it in the family" is an inaccurate description. (in-laws and step/adopted relations are still "family" despite no blood relation)
In any case, I'm not entirely sure what this conversation has to do with the work we're talking about here. The story was about biological incest between father and daughter.
Overall, I think the story had some interesting ideas but you could have used an editor. In any case, I have a bit of constructive criticism.
A. The story takes place on the daughter's 18th birthday. This is a ridiculous cliche that makes the reader roll their eyes immediately.
B. Misspelling George Clooney's name as "Cluney" is pretty bad and turns the reader off immediately.
C. You need to work on sentence structure, as you have a lot of run on sentences in here. Including the opening one. "It was my eighteenth birthday with no good reason to celebrate because my life had become nothing more than a twenty four seven caregiver to my father who had been stricken with cancer." That sentence is way too long, clunky and complicated and should have been broken up. You also just seem to dump a lot of facts without giving descriptions or emotions.
Imagine something like this:
"Typically, a girl's 18th birthday is cause for celebration. But when mine finally came around? Well, personally, I couldn't think of much worth celebrating. My life was totally and completely consumed by my role as a 24/7 caretaker.
One year ago, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer. (description of what it was like when they found out about it, etc.) I had agreed to become his caretaker, not fully anticipating the effects that such a burdensome task would have on my life."
That being said, the story is definitely not bad. The spelling mistakes and weird sentence structure in the beginning definitely tone down towards the end, but since most of the mistakes are towards
In any case, I hope you continue to write. I think you have a lot of good ideas. I especially liked how you incorporated the guilt, fear and nervousness that would result from an incestuous act - it wasn't "hey family member, you're hot, let's fuck." I hope that for your next story you find an editor who is willing to not only fix spelling/grammar mistakes but also help clean up the sentence structure to make it less clunky and make it flow more naturally.
you forgot, smoke a doobie.......... lol ----- thanks for the advice.write what you write and take the feedback that comes.
learn.
enjoy.
In my experience, the comments (and votes) can sometimes be a little fickle, and occasionally feel a bit tactical.
I see it like this: I'll write what I want, and I'll take constructive criticism on board. If I get a lot of people telling me I'm doing well, and one or two non-constructive abusive comments, I ignore them, plain and simple, especially if they've contributed nothing themselves.
Have to agree with these comments about ratings and criticism. Have published 5 stories that have been generally quite well received, but have also received venomous comments along with the helpful constructive criticism. In general, I've found:this seems to be the general consensus or suggested advice. I really appreciate your comment, spur.
