That scares me. 
Incest gets votes! My top stories for reads are all incest, 25,690, 19,495, 22, 761. Gotta love all the perverts who read them.
Also the ones that write the stories! Such as me. But hey, I just write them, and they are all fiction! Grin!
Marxist, write it well, and you'll get good marks for it!

Interestingly, though incest stories tend to be the most read, they don't tend to get the highest votes. Currently, there are no incest stories in the vote score Top 20, and only 3 in the Top 50. Mature stories, on the other hand, make up 8 of the Top 20 and 16 of the Top 50. What does this mean? I have no idea. Just thought it was interesting that a category that is so often read is not more prevalent in the voting score Top Lists.

Fascination of Incest
I'm not into incest stories myself-- to me, it's just one-on-one sex with a family member. Yawn. My favorite category of LE story is Group Sex. It can be much hotter and nastier than regular "plain vanilla" one-on-one sex-- there are all kinds of possibilities and permutations. Psychologically, it breaches a taboo most people have-- that sex is something very special and personal to be done in private by two people only. Nonsense. Sex is a simple mechanical act (pleasurable, too), which can be done by one, two, three, four or more people. Sex is not a big deal, but people (or should I say society?) make it a big deal.
But the high number of reads for incest stories shows that a lot of people like to fantasize about incest. Why? First, there is the lure of forbidden fruit-- societal disapproval (to put it mildly). But it goes deeper than that. The other members of your family share your DNA-- they are literally made from the same "stuff"-- the same genetic material-- as you. Plus, they are often the people you live with, are closest to, have seen naked, etc. Yet at the same time there is a revulsion against it in most people, because of societal stigmas and the threat of genetic deterioration due to inbreeding. So most people wouldn't actually do it-- but they love reading about it and fantasizing. Personally, I believe that if two consenting adults wish to practice incest, they have the right to do so.
As for why the incest stories don't rate very highly, I really don't know. But perhaps it's because writers in that category know that almost anything they write will get read, and get sloppy.

why incest scores low
It seems pretty obvious to me why a highly read category like incest would tend to score low. As more people read more of the stories, a certain ennui sets in. The reader becomes blase. If the scoring runs something like this:
1. really sucks;
2. needs work;
3. average;
4. pretty good; and
5. awesome.
Then a story like this:
"I was sitting in the den, nursing a cold one and relaxing after a day of getting my brains screwed out by my girlfriend. My sister sat down beside me and mourned that she could never get a date. I offered her a beer or two and listened to her tale of woe. After a bit she staggered to her feet, tore the tiny halter top off her 38DD breasts, unbuttoned her cutoffs, and slid them past her 23 inch waist and across her 35 inch hips. Flipping her reddish-blond, waist-length hair out of her face, she asked 'What's wrong with me?'
"I told her nothing was wrong, that she was beautiful, and that any man would want to fuck her. With that, she she leaned over to give me a hug, staggered (she's drunk, after all), and fell--impaling herself on my ten inches of throbbing manhood. She came at least five times and I had the strongest orgasm of my life. We'll be lovers forever."
Now I'd give that a solid four, maybe even a five. The average reader, though, might think there was a certain familiarity to the plot. He might even score it down a little. The more familiar we are with any subject, the more critical we are and the more difficult it is to impress us.
That's my freely offered opinion, and worth every cent.
