'Wasting' a story.

The camel cannot see its own hump.

I said forcing me to apologize to a misogynist is like forcing me to attend the Wannsee Conference. It just went to show the loathing I feel for misogynists.
I am lucky to have a wonderful mother, aunts, sisters, daughters, and co-workers. Everywhere I look I see beautiful and strong women. I have never seen so much hatred towards women in my life.

I doubt you know what happened at the Wannsee Conference.

Although the Jews make up only 0.2% of the world's population, they make up 20% of the Nobel Prize winners — yes, that's how special we are.
And yet, your most hateful comments on here are directed toward beautiful, strong women.
 
Oh my, you totally got me wrong. I don't have a trace of hatred in me. My messages are purely for fun, but those who enjoy being offended will always find a way.
Au contraire, mon ami. You insult to provoke conflict. If it's all for fun, it should be fun for both. I get you exactly correct.
 
What is the proper response for a troll?
1) Report them to the system
2) Totally ignore them.

If you think Tilan is a troll, follow the above. If not, respond as appropriate.

As to what has been said by a number of recent posts, it looks more like personal attacks and not like comments on wasting a story.

What say everyone gets back on topic and drop the attacks.

I'll start:
Have you made a short connecting story to connect two plots, but otherwise has little of its own to add? Do you think that story is a wasted one?
 
I'm probably doing this right now, after a fashion. I just put one in that I know for a fact isn't going to hit the bullseye of the Incest readership. I almost skipped it here, but then came up with a reason to throw it to the wolves.

Step. Short marriage and stepdaddy didn't really serve in a parental role. That's explicitly stated in the narrative, so no ambiguity. I've put tales like this in Mature before, and they did fine there. ( with a couple of comments about it pushing a little too close to incest for their tastes ) In this one, she has a serious kink for calling him "Daddy" once she breaks down his resistance. Pushes too far over the line for Mature, I think. I'm not trying to fool anyone. STEP is in the description line and part of the title ( though that title occurrence is only clear as a play on words with the context of the description. ) and I declare the nature of the existing stepfather/daughter relationship within a few paragraphs.

Normally, I'd just skip posting something like this here, but I don't have any personal experience with how a story like this would do. I've read comments and checked out the numbers for similar stories, but real time data would give me a clearer picture, so it went in the queue.

One completely unanticipated thing that's popping up from where it's already live elsewhere is that there's a lot of commentary about the disintegrating marriage and the way he's handling it. ( He's not snapping and confronting her over what's become fairly obvious infidelity. ) I should have anticipated it, but I was concentrating on how to deal with the step vs. incest part of it and didn't think about it. It's not hurting the performance elsewhere, ( and most of the commentary is about being pleased by the ending of that story element ) but it will be interesting to see what happens here.
 
I don't consider any of my stories "wasted."

Some have done very well, some...not so much.

Then there are ones I've meant to continue but have no direction for.

I don't consider them "wasted." Merely learning experiences.

To me, a "wasted" story is one that starts out with a great premise but the author skips over any potential of it by being too anxious to get to the sexy bits for fear of boring their audience. And instead the story becomes boring because it's just to caricatures fucking and not actually characters we had a chance to get to know well enough to hope they fuck.
