I've got a story coming up today about a half brother and sister, and was thinking that you rarely see or hear of IT stories involving half brothers and half sisters. There's plenty of stories between full brothers and sisters, and step siblings (which always get at least one comment that it's not IT), sometimes there's adopted and foster sibling stories (foster sibling stories very rare), but half brothers and sisters are not seen often either. Maybe they just get lost among the standard brother and sister stories on the site, or maybe because there's often an age difference between half siblings that makes it harder to come up with story ideas.

Have you ever written a half sibling story, or read any good stories like this?
 
My Christmas story is about half-sisters (The Last Wallace). It’s getting good ratings and very nice comments, but it’s also shaping up to be my second-lowest read story. Weird.

It sometimes takes a while for the view count on a story to go up. There is a certain amount of randomness in view counts anyway.
 
My guess is neither the title or tag line give an indication of the contents
This. With nothing calling out the relationship in the title or tagline, people are gravitating toward stories where the menu is plainly displayed. A lot of the readership seems to stick to specific pairings, rather than just being incest fans in general. You pretty much have to call it out in one of those two places or a lot of potential patrons will walk by without a second glance in favor of the big neon sign just down the block.
 
My Cocktails, Heels & Desperate is a half-sibling story. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, and it's firmly held it's red H since publishing. In fact, it's actually a fair bit higher than it was in its first week of life, now.
 
I haven't written any half sibling stories, and there aren't as many of them, probably because with the slightly less taboo relationship the sizzle isn't quite as great for some readers. But the half-sibling relationship presents some good plot opportunities (siblings growing up separate and getting together) that full sibling relationships might not.
 
I was looking at my half sibling story again today about a sister and brother who go urban exploring together at an abandoned theme park, and noticed how few views it has - just 14,000 to date.

It could have just been overlooked in a lot of other stories posted around this time in late November, but I didn't note that in the title or description they were half-siblings. Even if I had, I don't think it would have affected views too adversely, as I've written step-family and foster sibling stories in the past which was referenced in the title and description, and they got plenty more views even if some readers bleated that it wasn't IT or didn't like the stories for other reasons.

What I did do was note the ages of the sister and brother in the description - 18 and 40 respectively - and I was wondering if this was what might have deterred readers. Perhaps readers don't like so much sibling or cousin stories with a large age difference, preferring them to be closer in age? However mother/son, father/daughter, aunt/nephew and uncle/niece stories tend to do well for overall views, so age differences obviously aren't a huge deterrent in this category, and sometimes you even see grandparent stories although not as often.

There's so many IT stories posted it's impossible to read all of them as well as write, but I don't recall seeing that many large age difference sibling stories very often, such as a guy in his mid-30's having sex with his 18-year-old sister who was a late baby for their parents, or an 18/19-year-old college guy having sex with his mid-30s half sister, his father's daughter from a previous marriage.

Have you ever written an IT story about siblings or cousins with a big age difference and what was the reaction, or read another story with this theme that was successful?
 
I’ve got one 80% written in my elephant’s graveyard of half-finished tales. Sort of. The initial premise is that they’re half siblings, one from their dad’s previous marriage, with the usual forbidden attraction… but then they learn that actually their dad was cuckolded and that they’re not blood-related at all. At which point they just sorta shrug and go “Huh. Never mind then, wanna screw?”

Thing is it falls into the “sort of incest but not really” category, so it kinda falls between categories. Not sure whether to put it in the Incest section, since it…isn’t, actually. Guess I should check if stepbrother/sister tales go there, it’s not a category I’ve ever looked at before.
 
I had three Uncle/Aunt/niece stories go into I/T with a pretty good reception, and the relationship was stated right at the start of the story. They leaned to the taboo side of the I/T.

My story featured it and the characters were introduced in part 2.

Same Dad, different mum, which prompted a character to respond “There’s no way they’re NOT related” as they thought they were stepbrother and sister.
