What is your opinions on Incest in stories?

I want to introduce it in my latest story, Bonnie's Full Moon Blues!

Bonnie’s Full Moon Blues

Hello, my name is Bonnie, Bonnie Lupin, and until last night, I was just like you, a normal girl who had it all, hot body, captain of the Basketball team, and was the most popular girl in school, at least until I was attacked by a Werewolf while on my...

Keep in mind, both characters are 18 and 19 respectfully, thus within age of consent...

Well, what a question. But frankly, I don't care. Can be hot, it's a fantasy, usually in psychological or smut stories. The trope itself is based on the simplicity of "forbidden romance". Nothing new, nothing special, but you have to make it work.
Edit, for the mentioned Genres: I mean, you either make it a fantasy and just write it as a tropey smut story, or it's a psychologically heavy story - if not both. If it's neither, the topic is likely not well-incorporated.

In reality, I don't even care about it in real life. I had a friend who used to equate incest immediately with rape or assault, which has nothing to do with it; it's something entirely separate. Incest itself, to me, is the most non-problem to ever non-problem. They probably shouldn't have children, but aside from that, genes aren't necessarily visible and people may look alike without being blood related at all.
In the end, if it's mutually consensual, I really care not. I may not be interested in my siblings and couldn't imagine to be interested in them, but there's quite a lot of things I don't need to like for others to like them.
Add-On for the "sad" reaction, whatever it's meant to tell me: In the end, most "blood-related" people don't even look alike; you wouldn't know, if they didn't tell you, and what are you going to do? Go and shame them for making a decision you dislike? It's not like they actually hurt anyone. And in stories, when people aren't real, and nobody gets in societal trouble, I care even less.

If the story was told in the west, I would go east.

Edit: That fiction is going on my red list. I won't be opening it forever.

Is gross.

As long as you don't show it happening, just imply or even flat-out state that it did (this is one time "Tell Don't Show" is a good idea), you should be fine. Game of Thrones gave a decent template to follow for this.
Then again, the Howard Families of Heinlein's Future History stories were pretty big on this (Genetic Miscibility was less important than longevity but more important than disease resistance... and the combination produced Woodrow Wilson Smith, aka Lazarus Long), and he did some showing, just not a lot (Time Enough For Love would probably be NC-17, as would To Sail Beyond the Sunset and many of the other stories with him or his mother Maureen, like The Cat Who Walked Through Walls) ...

Thanks, i'll take what you told me into consideration!

It's fiction, so I don't care. There are plenty of things I don't like, but don't care if people include them in fiction.

Incest is wincest. Yuri twincest even better.

Wait, why are you asking for an opinion? Is it not a normal thing to do? Huh... you learn something new every day.

If I'm being completely honest, it's not for me.
Not my thing, but no judgements here for fictional narrative and storytelling.
It can be made to work within a narrative structure (like any other form of romance).
If it's something you're planning to include, then take the time to build up the relationship between the two characters, and it would be best if you also showcase the way others react to it in a realistic manner.
The best example I've seen of it being made to work well was Angel Sanctuary though the OVA didn't have the time to properly develop the romantic relationship (it was only three episodes), it did handle the subject quite well.

I am generally absolutely disgusted by incest because I get empathetic while reading and I have many siblings. So, I am just using my free to gross myself out? Yeah I am out.

So, I've read exactly ONE incest story where I understood why it was happening. With lack of sugarcoating, their mother's dead and father's absent (due to career). The older one takes care of the younger one who is very mentally challenged. So academia is out of the question. The older one also has a criminal past (tough career) and after the father's dead, they are the only one taking care of that sibling who has never seen the world. NOW, Hear me out. The older one gets cancer.

Now there are 2 people who will never experience life and love and all that. So, the two of them. Well, incest happens. No matter how disgusted I am I still read the thing because it made some twisted sense.

I don't mind it being used as a literary resource. There are plenty of stories out there that use it as a plot device to great effect, especially if it has lasting consequences to the story and it's not done just for the sake of incest. The best-known example is Game of Thrones, of course.

For those who don't know, in Game of Thrones, the whole thing started because the King's children turned out to be born of incest from the Queen and her brother, and thus, illegitimate. And when the King died, everybody and their mother claimed the throne and started a war.

There is also great potential to create a 'forbidden love' story where the entire world is against the relationship (and with good reason). It doesn't have to be smut, or even consummated; the mere intention is enough to create a lot of conflict, especially if it's one-sided. We're writers after all, and I don't see harm in incest in fictional stories if done right.

Translation: Eldoria is *so* going to read this thing, lol.

I mean, I'd have believed you, little one... but you were just w-a-y too dramatic about exclaiming "no!", made me think.
Now I just need something that rhymes...
"Eldoria's witch sister, just can't resist her"
(and I guess when the magical plants "eat" her, well, they mean it another way I suppose)
LOL

[disclaimer: this post was *satire* so don't freak]

PS - I always think of the scene in "Joe Dirt" movie, he briefly thought his girlfriend was his sister, LMAO

 

[Snake99]

There's nothing wrong with that in fiction; if you want to write about two relatives having sex, go ahead.

 

[TinaMigarlo]

I could "see" incest in a novel.
But for me and my general style, it would be a noir revenge.
You know, the older brother used to "R" the FeMC, incestuously.
First dealing with it then seeking cold blooded revenge would be the conflict.
I would only deal with it, in flashbacks. Maybe night terrors or PTSD visions, etc.
No... salacious and gratuitous brother-sister "R word" scenes... just imply clearly and fade to black.

but the Fraternicide ending... I'd go medieval on that and give that some pages.
